For Getting

debt simmers hand extended

glazes past ummm...ummms

about that healthy sum...

phone-call-athon agent

with... smile concern

curtly strip excuses away

"perhaps you can call...

to make necessary effort."

 

More personal intimate

I.O.U.'s take precedence

systems hold paper

paid as insured collection

get a bucket to wait with

when I die I only bleed

one last time....

This resonates with astounding force...as a whole I understand but the last stanza is so strong to me...I can still feel the rattle in the last two lines. Maybe I have taken it to far but this piece has the legs to travel. Well done poet! "For every shadow, no matter it's depth, is threatened by the morning's light..." <3 Emarie
