Than years we were together.
It's the little things
That I recall, now and then;
Paying bills, morning tea, and . . .

Premium Member Living Alone

So this time
I’ve spent
Living alone
Paying the rent
I’ve been dreaming
That you’re by
My side
Will you 
Keep me
In suspense
Until I die

Supper waits-
Rusty chicken neck
and flashing drums
lack complement
of the roaring
imminence of
poetic bills,
paying with moisturised
beggar hands.

Paying hard
the money short
pockets empty

A pound of flesh

My barn is now full to the gills
With the sweet sounds of musical trills.
We’re making tin whistles
And writing epistles,
But it’s likely not paying the bills.

Premium Member Pickle - Mar 19

Pow! the pale powder pumps power into 
The pastor’s panicked pulse. Peeing his pants, 
He pulls his parcel and pitter-patters
To the piss-pot, paying his penile penance.
