The Garden

my house of cards

i have built myself

a house of cards

filled with the stuff of

dreams and gambles

and hopes and luck

but nothing

tangible

and it looks like

my house of cards

is about to fall

and there's no one here

to help me hold it

up.

i let it fall

and left the cards

and the dreams

and the gambles

and the hopes

and the luck

for someone else to use.
