Gambler

*Georges de La Tour* The Cheat

Gambler

Unabashed,
He 
Took
The
Cash,
Even
Though
It
Was
Beyond
Decent
Expectation,
And
Profit
Not
Due.
She
Knew
No
Coin
Could
See
Him
Through.
This
Velvet
Would
Be
Cast
Away
In
Idle,
Desperate
Play,
And
Soon
Enough,
His
Soul
Will
Fade,
Bleached
By
The
Life
He
Has
Made,
And
In
Another
Year,
Simply
Disappear.
