Domino Game Poem by HOWLIN' DERVISH

Domino Game



At a table in a dim confined space
It is only a simple raki shop
Stone and cement and labour

The eyes take in a table
The laminate top has has a centre...
No, a polished circle

Chipboard shows a timeworn surface
Polished by play
Ivory oblongs share out ebony spots

Brass rivets aid the spin
Like spots mate
Tabac shared, raki
