To take the HOUSE!

Do I have questions

I believe not,

Not any more

~

I would bet my utmost

My last silver

On the Jackpot

Against the House

To bring her DOWN

To win gold;

Still river,

Would I?

~

O, o and how!! Burning out in blaze!

All in for the all!

~

It’s only fair.

I know.

Am a big stake ❤️‍🔥😁

Cause self is

The only currency for river Styx obol

Weight of the coine pressed idol

~

a drop of life in a clay vial

tolling for a journey final

where the silent shadows lie idle

death’s horse led by a long bridle

falling down the Stygian spiral…

~

Stop.

~

Play

~

Game

~

Am?

~

Awake?

~

And

-

Alea iacta est
