Sometimes Tuesdays make sense

January 27, 2012

She comes from nowhere
just appears;
a stranger of cups
suddenly dealt upside down
from a deck
you know is marked by the divine

and so

when you shake hands
another wind god wakes
and starts licking the dice

and so

you order wine
because what more is there to do
when she’s on every chip
you’re playing for
with trembling hands
and earmarked credit cards

    I feel it falls apart on line 4 and never recovers. ‘Suddenly’ is a terrible word.
