the game

it's not a game.
although it feels like it at times.
her holding her
cards so close, so tight.
looking into
your eyes.
does she have a hand to win,
do you,
it's hard to know as we
look into one another's
eyes.
who's bluffing, 
who's cheating.
who has an ace up their sleeve.
do we know each other's
tell,
can we hear the lie
before the next card
falls, before the next
hand is dealt?
