The Judge
Turning fortune wheel
picking up creatures at whim
swept up like water
from familiarity
to unscripted novelties
Seeds blown by the wind
odd mix landing where it will
new cycle begins
sprouting in golden riches
or withering poverty
Sickness or beauty
even the power to choose
ends without notice
the judge remains and recalls
choice made to hate or to love.
