Some Uttered Things Unjinx

Some uttered things unjinx
if given sufficient audacity. 
The child gets home safe. 
Your brother sobers up. 
Love stays. Or, a day 
you say will be amazing is 
because you note each 
mote of it: the scent 
of honeysuckle; the music 
of traffic dancing beachward;
the taste of tortilla-chip dust 
on your fingertips. You say
the world will be remarkable
and your presence makes it so.
