the ace of hearts

she shows you
one card,
the ace of hearts.
these other
cards
are not for
you. you're not
even in the game,
not at the table.
but she shows you
this one card.
the tease
card, she waves it
around so that
you will see
just a part of
what her hand
could be.
the other four
cards
stay down.
those are the ones
that never
get turned over,
at least not
for you.
