She seizes the vengeful monster

The monster made from jade tints and coarse paper 

She stashes the monster into her pocket

The monster of money

 
***************

She cannot extinguish this urge

This a flame which burns within her

To collect gilded coins and bills

The anticipation of winning

A grin plastered upon her face 

 
A powdery grin stretching like dough 
The dismay in loosing

Tears and salty sweet etched upon her brows 

 
**********
 
Every day,
The monster disintegrates into flames

A pile of ashes

And a pile of forgotten memories
 

Disappearing 
 
And reappearing 
 
Once more
 
Day after day 
 
A vicious cycle
