A Good Hand

Me, Nikon, b/w film.

Here's a poem for you...kinda fierce. Hope you feel well today. I've been catching up on sleep and having weird dreams and STILL job hunting. I've never been let go for doing a great job and working my ass off happily in 90 degree weather and showing up early and being "overqualified" before, but now I have. That's what the word was..."overqualified." Moral of the story:  put in 50%, not 100%, hahahhahahahah. Weird! Guess the universe wants me elsewhere. I am poor, buy my book, hahahaha. Much love, always. C.A.

A Good Hand

She’s not playing any

War.

Maybe some stray cats suck cigars.
They like to bet.
They like to watch.
Others play poker in the
Basement.

She returns for

More.

Maybe some like to
Fish.
Maybe by the river, an all-day game
With the packed cooler,
And the bait,
And the hook.

Always, she wishes for a good

Hand.

She can’t live

With the broken zipper.
The only fix
Is the face, and some kind of

Reality, like blue
Eyeshadow.
