What does she mean
By surrender
she giving up,
throwing in her hand of cards,
knowing she can’t
win,
looking to get out
before she loses more
than she anticipated,
to whom is she surrendering,
to herself, those
thoughts
that wake her in the
early morning
the rattle of the hamster cage
or to the man
who she once only
wanted
an affair of the mind,
not to me, certainly
I’ve long ago lost,
Thought I suspect
she lost more than
all the rest of us,
the married man
who gets to leave
this poker table
with all the chips
he came with
all hers as well,
glancing back to
gloat
or with a look of
pity
on her.
