the queen of spades.

[biche]

He's fucking with my mind
He's playing a diamond
a spade. a club
the queen of hearts.
He rolls a joint between his teeth
a slow, sleazy grin forming
behind endless furls of nicotine.
beneath his sleeve,
he pulls out the joker cackling sinisterly on the card
the joker is fucking the queen
while the king of hearts cries behind the screen.
His next move - I cannot read
His face. unfazed. composed. unsown seeds.
fucking voices screaming inside my head
He's just playing the queen of spades.
when will this fucking end?
this maze I deny; this state I pretend.
it's all a game - just a round of beer and cards
draw a new one, sip some wine
you know he's just fucking with your mind.
