The poker pot is huge
it’s that moment before
you reveal your hole card.
You’ve gotten on your knee
and opened the ring box
It’s the moment before she speaks.
You are fighting a fish hard
it’s the moment before you see
if it’s a tuna or a shark.
You are on your deathbed
each breath more shallow
and, for once, you are sure.
