POETRY

The Armchair Gambler

All bets are on

I have nowhere that I fit in, nowhere to belong Nowhere to call home Have I revealed enough to you yet? I conceal myself in this revealing, the self I cannot Find words for, the empty self The hungry self The longing self that always wants more And buys comfy sweaters and cozy blankets in a bid To calm the ache inside

Because sometimes it works, but not always From my armchair, a casino And all bets are on
