Ace

Every day the cards were played Everyday you lost I won. Every day you’d come back With declarations of future success, And when proved false you’d smile, All lopsided and sheepish, With a “next time perhaps” And now your gone. And next time won’t come. I guess I won after all. You always said I was a queen of diamonds But my dear, You were the Ace of hearts.

To Everett

If there is a place after this life,

I expect to see that lopsided grin

From across the table

May we play cards again

who knows?

I may even let you win...

(Or not)
