You played the one fatal card
that cannot win,
the one from which there is
no coming back,
“the always leaving girl.”

reshuffling the deck
and starting anew. . .
Background poem for the novel, “The Dangling Conversation.” Kyle desperately loves Nadia, but recognizes his heart’s beginning to harden.
