Sevens, Shovels, and Spades Dig, dig, dig. Black soil and stone Earth worms wiggle , Decay bones Dig, dig, dig, scatter seeds there Sprouting, searching sun and air Dig, dig, dig, To hide our dead Six feet under, body bed Dig, dig, dig, create new life Born of earth, Feed appetites Dig, dig, dig, Shovel and Spade Flowers grow from planted pain Dig, dig,...

You say I’m made to be a spade but that just curls my wings I sit here ready to scoop up the widest range of things Scooping apples off the ground and thrusting them all forward To where the wheelbarrow awaits as I denude the orchard They say to call a spade a spade is honesty at work I do...

Diamonds steer clear, they know they are at the bottom of the heap. Clubs do not fare better, but their secrets they know how to keep.

Idly shuffle the cards Lay them out on the table In whatever shape you like. Turn them over, one by one. Is that Jack of hearts Your first real boyfriend? The one who broke up with you Because you “weren’t his type”? The one who broke your heart For the first time? Turn over some others. Three of spades, seven of spades, Ace and nine...

Red beams of neon outlining us Red and black intertwining Intervening The red thread is still tied to Our little fingers Questions were never asked Nor was anything mentioned Where can we sell our souls For a student affordable price They know where The shrill of the guitar The bass of the drum The black curtains are opening It’s the commencement of a Night you won’t remember At least you...

The silver king{1} banded with the dark queen{2}, United under the all-powerful one{3}. Off to war, of armies of four{4}, together with the warrior son{5}. Battle was fierce, many were slain; The wounded wound-up in the history books{6}. The militant{7} family crusaded on, Striking fear and bringing heavy-hearted looks. Victory was assured, no doubt to be had. Until the mighty three{8}, Heads of armies be... Rose...

Buttercup catfish, marmalade in spades Math scores come in scribbles called student grades Mutter sup fly fish, warlocks are outraged, Path doors run in nibbles, unholy paged. Silly verses delight in unannounced way, Top hats and top coats, swinging in the sway Dilly purses inspect a spectacular song Mop heads and billy goats doing nothing...

Comfort me Queen of Spades Hearts are just for show Tired of putting my own on the market of trades There are no benefits and the profits are low Promises are never kept and the one to suffer is the pure of soul Comfort me Queen of Spades Let me play pretend in your arms I need love even if it's fake Been...

Clubs. Diamonds Hearts. Spades Some are red, Some are black, Some are high, Some are low. If you are a bridge player, you know that some suits are better than others. My family of origin used to play bridge with a plastic cheater kind of card table cloth you could tie around the table, that told us how to play bridge step by step. We must...

You come along to disrupt my life, after many silent years Plunge in with your manipulation and lies, playing on fears What gives you the right, to turn my life upside-down? While keeping truth from me, as always, wearing your crown --- Like a Queen of Spades in a card game of Hearts --- ...

A friendship like ours, is one to be kept A treasure in the sands of our lives Buried deep, under cover, until we first met and the spades to uncover it arrived Spades made of laughter Spades made of tears that sought out this treasure that we've held for years But this treasure held wisdom and opinion too and by not really listening I...

The woman was a water bearer: Alluring as the refrain of midnight, Alluring like the skin of an atheist. The woman had been a prisoner: Mandela urged me to furbish his door steps. I waxed the knees of California. The woman had been a singer: All the way from Vancouver to Abbotsford She carried her battle anthems. I crafted time. The woman had been victimized: The...
