My Only Card |
Queen of diamonds, Queen of hearts:
I can only be one.
My enemy lays down two G’s;
I match it with my wedding ring.
I cannot fold this hand,
Turn off the green-shaded light:
I am all in.
His eyes are naked, unblinking:
Sunglasses hide mine.
He doesn’t have to win poker –
It isn’t the only game he has.
