Hi D,
The title Arcanum was a baffler for a while but with the net on call I came up with dozens of interpretations the one I liked the most was the Hermetic Arcanum explanation, secrets of nature and art concerning the matter of the philosophers' stone and the manner of its working. I knew about the game as well I have a son who is heavy into all the gaming scene. even at 36 ha! ha! Though he prefers Competition Poker now.
I digress the poem was beautifully put together though not my cup of tea I think I got the drift and enjoyed it for its originality a good poem though grim and deep. RayS
I will take you up on your recent request for reading see my newest poem probably not your cup of tea but I hope you enjoy it.
