No Games

The only dice I use
come in pairs, have six sides,
are cubes, and a bad roll
could get me killed.

The only dungeon I know
has no secret doors or prisoners
other than me and the only way out
is feet first.

The only dragon I know
is the dragonfly that will come to you
one day with news I send
from the country of the dead.

I have no time now
for any game in which
my life is not on
the line.
