no time to be uncertain
stack those thirds and trade some fours

there’s not another

shuffle or deal
does it matter
in the long run
I’m unmissable

dissonant winds sweep
a path through bare bones
of summer long past
sounding winter qualms
that may not resolve

widow’s peak
that once-and-future crown
forever pointed downward
a nonchalant foreshadowing
of losing its lock of distraction
but that reign is gone now
the dome naked, afraid
as curly contrarian ideas
