Borrower
Borrower,
Borrowing appettite;
Increasing gradually.
Weary to live within means.
Handcap of saving culture;
Hand-to mouth disposition.
Lender connives with bailiff!

Live From Hand To Mouth
Live from hand to mouth

More meritorious than to live from hand to mouth
With no reserve to depend on,
And far better than
Keeping body and soul together
In hopeless destination
Make ends meet
Tete era ne nne
                      ABED ANTHONY...

Teenage Girls
TEENAGE GIRLS


In the noisy café giggling
In their seats opposite me wriggling
Teen-age girls lean cheek-by-jowl.
Quiet as a cat’s footstep on a mouse prowl,
Their whispers to one another
With cupped hand-to-mouth to smother
Are so silent you don’t hear anything.
How do they speak so softly anyway?
Who would want to  listen anyhow?...

Visible Evidence
I'll make the Western world cringe
Cause they can't detect, define
Or impregnate
What can't be seen
Is driving metal minds crazy

It's ok, all is not what it seems
Time shreds all doubt
Where moving heart to heart
Hand to mouth

All up in the air
Phosphorous wear and tear
You mount as prosperity shingles
Where we go from here?
I'll let molten minds mingle...

Premium Member Navigating Through Life
Your journey
        though life begins
            with your
                very first breath.

Exploring your world
        hand to mouth,
            you test
                boundaries.

Skirting
        obstacles
            encountered,
                you look for detours.

There are guideposts,
        but
            free will; chooses your path....

Premium Member Existing, Not Living
The tears left marks on her face.
The lines of stress still present.

They stole her life from our hands, not a 
trace of the beautiful person that was living.

The tears cried on these streets. Us lowly, 
poor people existing not living.

They stole so much from our lives. Lives now 
hand to mouth, always begging. 

They crushed the strength of our souls and 
decided our lives weren’t worth living...

A Bag Full
Bowls 'n' bags 'n' 
branches 'n' trees
Orchards 'n' lives 'n'
meanings and needs

Taste the sweet meat of
Prunus avium - Bing,
Sweetheart, Rainier, Tulare
the tart, the sweet 
the redness - a treat

A bowl, a bag, 
by hand-to-mouth
to suck - to chew 
to rave - to espouse

Song of the Swans
The world has forever
outgrown itself,
its pants no longer fit

The cuffs too short,
the waist too tight,
its inseam worn and ripped

The fabric that
it used to grow,
lay barren in the field

The magic that
it used to show,
a sleight of hand reveal

The world has forever
outgrown itself,
its future running out

The earth exposed,
the sky on fire
—all life but hand to mouth

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)...
