Little Bits
the other treasures
plastic treasures
a fingertip press
against the ridged edges
in hopes it is enough
reluctant to release
its stamped worth
in hand there are
four aces and a queen
her heart was stolen
by the spaded knave and his King
searching for the perfect space
the king of clubs appears
a god of trickery
slips into the thicket
triumph dissipates
why would a deuce
raise the stakes?
of impending doom
or sweet elixir
the sworded king
and his eight reveal
the longed for treasures
are yours to take
