Daydreams

An eastwardly wind
sends me into a tailspin
and I cross my fingers
against their voodoo
Mumbo Gumbo
and flashes of light
I choke and burn
Flailing apart
and struggling to find
My way
In the downpour of magic
Blinking memories
And mistaken reveries
My eyes flutter
A lucid dream
A shaken reality
The captain shouts his yo ho hos
Fee Fi Fo Fum
My hands reveal
the blood of an Englishman
