Playing the Only Card In My Hand | Poem

Playing the Only Card In My Hand
 
knife in the water
lightening at the edge of the sky
only card in my hand
her hand in the fire
disconnected but so wired
playing my only card
a million reasons
one way to know
playing the only card in my hand
walking on water
swimming through the land
playing the only card in my hand
