dead dice

i grabbed the table edge
shaking loose dreams
that fell from the fractured
facade
i blew into my palm
lily scented wishes and
held my breath while i set
them free
i stood grounded in my belief
that love was for fools
and i was no longer
a fool

   till the tips of my fingers
released hope dressed in dice
and they landed with a
  t h u d
against the walls of my heart
and i
with my mouth open wide
said nothing about the night
dice died.

by each let this be heard,

some with a flattering word"

that love was for fools
and i was no longer
a fool"

WOW! Of all the things to gamble on...
what an analogy.
I am deeply impressed...
and for the life of me,
I heard the T H U D.
