Dicing with destiny

It is not

about her

slender neck

which

beckons

and yields,

nor is it

about

the ivory

rosary

of skulls

on that

alabaster

field,

promising

ambrosia

and forbidden

delight,

tasting

of copper,

with notes

of the night.

It is about

how to

merit

escape

from

the cage

that enfolds

the jewel

of spirit

before we

grow cold

and join

forever

her necklace

of souls.
