Hazy Acres

Silver chain on the dresser 

Bronze ring 

Ink fresh and not for replications 

Water running in the other room

New divas 

Cards on the table

Watch it spin black then red

Black then red 

Double down mama 

Gambling addicts win big 

With the works pouring over ice 

Obvious looker

Pause the film 

These pages write themselves 

Once engaged after stuck 

In a fade 

Play the sweet rhythms 

Dead eyes in a stunned look 

Woke 

Big black T shirt on the chair

Bought extra just in case 

Cross over on the blacktop 

I got your number in my money thing 

Scratch off lottery 

As you dance in a crowd of nobody

One motion 

And it ends with a trick 

Straight to the eye

Exit 

Another drive up the way 

Two hands on a head making wolf ears

Masks in the dark

Hips that sway like a snake 

Good at it  

No poems in this city 

Dead letters on fake clowns 

Under the rocks 

Under the glass 

Under the covers 

Daredevils strong enough to lose 

No soap for the feral

Play the ceremony music 

With bones in the basket
