I am a delirious mystic
Keep betting
with the Big guy in sky
Keep losing
the shadow garment to light.
I suffer
When I win
I smile
When I lose.
I lose most of the time,
When I put my hand in my pocket
Strangely I always find
A stone, or a seed,
a marble or a leaf.
How could it be
When I am most vulnerable,
I am the happiest winners
And
When I think I figured out
the perfect bet,
weeping
bright my day
Tears wrinkle my face.
What will I do next,
Nothing is left
To bet on.
A chant begins…
