I Stroke Luck Downwards

By Caitlin Hall

I Stroke Luck Downwards

I see luck and stroke it downwards

Stroke it away from me

See it grow and die

The contractions of envy

its vivid alcoholic dream

give birth to a slow smiling child

Whose possibility I could hold forever

And maybe I never tell you

why the grip has tightened

why the crib is gilded and guilted

This is the upshot

My eyes! 

Anyway

I kiss luck away

on the back of the head

Spark luck watch it empty

and gloss over me
