“The random roll of the dice” by Sofia Kioroglou

Pushing your way towards

my beleaguered enclave

I resist tenaciously

dourly determined to retain

the carapace of indifference.

 My boundaries remain unchanged,

firmly in place and strictly enforced,

no smudged dividing lines this time.

No sugar-coated goodness with lies

no life surrendered to the random roll of the dice.
