A very tense moment.

i don't know what this may be about.I think it is a conversation between to people,that is lacking in words,however,face expression and actions show that it's not a very happy interaction.

It seems like an attempt at a truce cut off before it could happen. Nice work, interesting imagery.

I like the choice of words.

Faces—grimaces,

Traces—Grim aces dealt out,

In love's poker game.

(¿In love's poker, gain?) —m—

Interesting. I liked it. That whole open for interpretation thing is real neat.

I like the word choice you used. Keep writing.
