As you say

Hey dear friend
I cannot imagine
being on the poker table
without you
in the play
or leading it.

Soon, as you know
all this mirage
will be gone.

There will be empty tables
with echo filled rooms
where laughter resounded once.

But i do not wish to dwell
on all that in the present,
which lies bare
barring the timelines
they drumrolled
into our ears.

All we have now-
are the tomorrows
to plan for
and todays to play
to fill it up full.

So lets just play
for a wee bit
if not long.
and repeat-
Burn one
and turn one.
