We did not know

the world was a gamble

and every step in faith

was another call

for cards to be shown

we did not see ourselves

gamblers playing against disaster

with the simple lives we led:

working, marrying, having children

with total ruin

a breath away

we remain in the moment

gamblers reading the tells

holding against the house

with nothing left to lose – Caroline A. Slee
