Woman with a Veil 2

A cigar wrapped with a lavender band
lays on her indigo velvet purse, and
when she removes her card of four her hand
regurgitates it on the dealer's green.
The woman with the veil gambles softly
and wins constellations. The cards nightly
uncover chance and requests logically
timed in street theorems of sidewalk cities.
Her palms hold puzzles thicker than paper
with scars from short nods of older gamblers
that an escape to safety undisturbed
is the balliwick she owns unexplored.
She slips between her hired guardians,
but her heft are scars of wrong times chosen.

There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
