burke: CUTTING THE DECK


in Wangaratta Library
    four ladies
playing cards


poets playing
     their hands
in Dewey order


they keep their voices
     down so as
not to disturb readers


"I've done my dash!"
     and throws
her hand in


they cut once
    and shuffle again
    just like poets

beside them
