Pair o’ Dice Lost

We lie

Like wine,

Un-aged;

Or plays,

Un-staged.

We wait,

Like trees,

Un-corked.

Or clay,

Un-worked.

We weep,

Like children,

Lost.

Or lovers,

Tossed.

We sleep,

Like seeds

Un-sowed;

Or Truth

Untold.

We die,

Like vines,

De-tached;

Or eggs,

Un-hatched.

Potential Stalled;

Fulfilled?

Not at All.
