A Game of Cards in a Ploughed Field


In one direction the card player ploughs
In a pattern of puzzles and riddles.
He plays to win
Behind guards of his own hand.
Safe in concealed reasons
He moves
For the sake of his own cards,
Unable to help those behind
Their own facades
Playing to their own ends.
