Poem: A Gamble

 

A Gamble

 

mousy,

brown against black,

scurrying on paws

once maple lobes,

 

wind its muscle,

decay its flesh.

mottle dripping off,

such brittle rot.

 

it rushes a busy tire,

eager to kiss,

earn an autograph,

or perhaps a speck of peace.

 

always so swift,

Fate obsessed with dice games,

rolling over and over,

bidding leaves to tumble

 

and resolve.
