the odd card solitude

i am new to the card game

for long,

i have been 

the third card

which never joined the serial couple..

lost in a sea of numbers

and alien warriors,

i am the joker 

in a game where no one got 

the numbers right

from the beginning 

to the end of time ....

i cannot tell my yesternight 

                                    apart 

from the night before..

and the nights preceding that..

for all of them 

are bland,

painful 

and full of stars 

that belong in someone else's sky

and will never know 

the odd card solitude

. ah, an absolutely moving song of isolation ... and as a card lover ... i can tell you that the imagery is exquisite ... brilliantly written and rendered, dear V. ... sometimes i find that solitude is an affliction ... and healing from it ... or rather ... away from it ... is challenging ... but also a compulsion ... for the affliction torments and tears one apart beyond measure ... just my thoughts after reading this powerfully potent poem ...
