original integrated with still images from video

sharp

the cards flicker
in your hand
like the wing beat
of a small bird
in a cloudless land

the afternoon
is a full body
kiss
a spiritual
brazilian

passing traffic
sounds like paper
being torn
at high altitude
then you deal

see the stars
and the sun
with the photoshopped
NASA images
behind them

and the queen
and the king
and the jack
jacking off
behind them

always
a double
entendre
a duet
for dead men

now opera
I was tempted
to say…
never mind
the rest of the

cards
are falling like flies
while I
leave
in the silence
