Listen to poem:

there’s nothing glamorous or charming about being in debt about being behind and in arrears with dues hanging over our head but somehow i’m inclined to feel a ripple in my velvet a tingling warmth in the caress of being indebted to you and maybe one day i’ll hear you whisper that you’re ready to cash in on my debt AP: 2nd place 2022, Honorable Mention 2022 Posted on October 4, 2021

Ohhh...This is so beautiful, Line. This is the kind of debt we don't mind - such a subtle differentiation! I truly loved it - so meaningful! to my faves, Dear Poet. Love ~ Mala

I like how your poem subtly differentiates between being in debt to someone and the acknowledging of your debt to someone. Cheers - Gary

Not all debts are financial, as your last lines aptly show. Nicely written, Line.
