Dominoes

DOMINOES

Music on the Bluetooth,
Smooth white tiles with
Dots on one side.
Tattered, marked up scorepad.

A ritual of love
Partaken by two people,
Sharing the pleasure
Of competition
Like they share the
Pleasure of their bodies.

Game becomes metaphor
For the passion they entertain.

Intense, enthusiastic,
All consuming,
Moves and countermoves,
Keeping score.

When in fact they both win.
Every time.
