 Aug 2015 erica court

I was
        looking at today tomorrow
through the past  those rose
           colored glasses
darkened by
            my experiences
until I took off
       the past the glasses
and saw tomorrow,
     today with hope
unstained newness
     all free of colors
free of pasts. A new chance,
a re-beginning.

my no faced poker playing partner
her hands held so close to her chest
I don't see a bluff don't know if
she has a flush or a king
in the hole

Can't even read her when she lays down
a straight to her king
or has two pairs
to my one queen.

She antes and bids so calm
always, I guess I sometimes win,
but I know,
the odds are stacked way so far
against, me.
