in English commonlaw

my chicken scratching steals
the room seals

my fate feels
my doom deals

the deck (from the bottom)
beckons my anger

bangs my keyboard
locked my heart (long ago)

hangs my head
hands up

don/'/t shoot (too soon?)
stuff and nonsense

Wandering thoughts looking for a cadence to dance to! Snippets of images flash on the page telling a tale of love, cheat, and rage. Stuff it is; nonsense, no way! You leave us to bring our own closure, and I suspect you are tickled to do so! You have come out to play with us, and the game is afoot!

You select a defined emotional response as deftly as any pianist of master rating. Like grabbing one flavor of tea from a box of a hundred.

Very well done.

I don/'/t know how you do it ming, but the way you write is astonishing. How amazing, what so few words can do.
I find myself reading over each line a second or third time, solving it like a puzzle, with each carrying an interesting image to say the least.

I have to say my favorite line is "the deck (from the bottom)/ beckons my anger"

This makes me think likely not about what is intended, but the feeling of wishing you knew the deck of cards, to be able have control over the game you/'/re playing, and just feeling, that if you knew one of those cards, before the dealing, or the playing, that you could somehow intuitively count the cards as you go, and then have the edge. //That// by far is an awesome and rarely experienced moment, that holds so much unique feeling to it. Reminds us of parts of our lives in a similar sense to nostalgia, but it/'/s pure imagination. :)
