The yellow chariot
Of shattered dreams
The color of anemic flames
Parked in my space
Unhitched motionless
On roulette wheels…
“Faites vos jeux Mesdames
Et Messieurs Faites
Vos jeux…” chants
The crimson croupier
Waiving his trident
Calming his restless tail…
The chariot’s wheels
Remain frozen motionless
Like bankrupt players’ hands
“Rien ne va plus, Mesdames
Et Messiieurs, rien
Ne va plus…”
Time to wake up and board
The yellow chariot
Of shattered dreams
Parked in my space…
