Roulette


"Roulette"

unravelling the patterns woven
in the constructs of complexities

dragged out with the tide 
washed back in with the tide

the simplicity of the return 
seen scattered on the shore

collected, the rare, 
by some, 

the uwanted,
left behind

the Ocean 
takes it back again,

like tokens on a table
deal again, spin the tide

Roulette

I sense a shift in your style. I can feel the ebb and flow of your words at the crap table dredging for snake eyes. The ocean may take, but keep rolling the dice. I like your spin on words.
