Superstitious Remedy from Covid Diaries by Nagaarum

Conjunction of the planets is the source of our growing fear,
alarming stars aglow with threat – on the bright celestial sphere.
Spread mugwort and rosemary on cattle spleen and cloven hoof,
grey ash mixed with molten yellow sulphur keeps the harm aloof.

Whether you’re a bag of bones, a child or weather-beaten imp,
beware of the cat, but mainly if it’s black and has a limp.
The word was carried by the wind, so hear the shamans’ melody:
Eating yew and elderberry saves you from the malady.

Superstitions have no power over me so I’m not scared,
I keep a rabbit’s foot in my bag; I’m protected, I’ll be spared.
Germs, no matter how pernicious, will not knock me to the ground,
if I have the paper on me, no misfortune lurks around.
