Lady Luck
I saw him stretched out
under the white sheets
The final blank page
of his unwritten biography
A novel of 12 hour days
blasted by furnaces
sealed into his family
by soot and bourbon
His body the final smelter
of blood and cancer
Gambling debts mixed
with his children’s tuitions
He stares through all of us
an old gambler
shuffling through
his crusty trumps of memory

As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
wow thats some real talented writing there.thanks for posting it so we could read it.....
