Of Dice (And Dancing Silhouettes)A Poem by Cassidy Mask
The gambler holds His head erect He is watching Deciding. (Dance pretty one Dance for every ounce Of regret) He rolls the Dice (Die) And gets a Seven. Two and Five. (Dance my dear Dance for every lie Told {by you} [to you] Dance for every Deceitful breath Every dishonest Thought.) The gambler Smiles Slow and painful. Happy as he is (Sick and twisted) Unhappy {Un-joyful} {Un-glad} {Un-content} Happy as he is Sad. (Dancing silhouettes) Watch him now His eyes are moving (Endless pools of Petrol Lighting {Burning} With the smallest flicker Of [Dishonesty] Flame) And you, The dice in his Over-sized hands, You my dear (Must dance.) Are the source Of his suspicion. (Dance my dear) {You must dance} But every landing You execute Is (Seven) The same. (Dance) The gambler raises His (Dark) eyes (Dark and deep) (Dance) He sees now. He sees our (Souls) Deceit. (Dance) ‘So’ He says And his voice is Like The End. (Dance) He rolls the (Die) Dice (Dance) Seven. (Dance) Seven. (Dance) Seven. (Dance) ‘So’ He says And his voice Is The End. (Dance).
