John Lusardi Poet Free verse

Up My Sleeve

Up My Sleeve.

I turned over the Ace !
In,  an uncut moment.
         Your choice !  
slipped from below 
           revealed !
"The Diamond King"
         from a slick,
rough timed finger.
Once more sharp edged,
      you lost!  in that
long precious minute.
        Different day!
Another hunger!
