How long have I been living in this house of cards?
The diamond and the heart etiolate. The spade and the club rub off.
The white dove landed on my shoulder. Whispering a sweet song to my ear. The white rabbit will be late today…she said. My hands, my backbone are shaking. I was here to bring out their beautiful smiles. These bursts of laughter rocked of illusions.
I avoided the sharp blades. I crossed the dancing flames. I got rid of the troubled waters. And I stepped on the hot coals. But tonight is the night of the ultimate illusion. The one that pictures the work of a lifetime. The one where I disappear in a breath…the show is over
