A Gamble


Initially I have had nothing
Nothing to hide, nothing to lose
Nothing to cheat or nothing to be cheated of
I have nothing that I am going to obtain
Long ago
I had no love, hatred or even attachment

Still less
In the place far away from winning or being defeated
With a smile
I have staked the whole world

Once again
With eyes being more dead than alive
In the midst of the divine, the human and the
bestial

The outcome in the hands of gods
Here gently a die has been rolled
