A Last Card

Kurt Philip Behm

We die

but once

while living

through a horror

a thousand times

 

We die

but once

ignoring

what our freedom

most defines

 

All life’s

a choice

our future claimed

when dealt  

at our behest

 

Another

chance

to beat the dealer

the trump card

— in our vests

    Cheating death every man's game some win and some loose but the house always wins and if one plays long enough one leaves with empty pockets. Nicely done Kurt
