Game Over (Poetry)

Artwork by: Ione Citrin

Skating on the thin ice of karma's overstepped boundaries
Swimming underneath are sharks...
Sharks and judges waiting on my morals to sever
Waiting to cast stones at my scarlet letters
Praying I collapse so I can lie with the lepers

Drowning in the cold December streams
Life flashes before me, remembering my dreams
Dreams submerged and deferred

Maybe next lifetime

-Jon Chambers
