Papa Legba

By dark_sister

Please Papa Legba,
keeper of lies,
catch my enemy in your crossroads,
set a mean spirit
upon the scent.

Please Papa Legba,
I need your kindly tapping cane
to settle my mind
and heart again.

Please Papa Legba,
I have the finest gifts for you,
if only you can
tame my monsters
and set free the truth.
