I’m counting
all the cards.
Still missing one.
Spade’s been drawn.
And she’s on the run.
Everybody’s joking
with themselves.
Think they
could be King,
when it’s Queen
that’s second
to no one else.
Doesn’t really matter.
She has a face that kills.
Her ace is pulled,
and the kicker reels.
My heart went
black jack,
And the stack just fell.
The pursuit over.
She my only diamond
in this living hell.
