Ruby red lips

Sun spun hair

Green eyes

~

Go

~

Lights aglow

Flashing of purple,

Magenta and gold

~

Slip into

Black velvet

Sequined gown

~

Loose change

Folded bills

Plastic

~

Heels of coal

Mind on fire

Hunger

~

Another chip added

Cards flipping

Dice rolling

~

Heart pounding

Lost in a shuffle

Dazed and blinded

~

Eyes; olive drab

Hair of wheat

Rosy lips, pale

~

Stop

~~~
