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.

And overheard a woman say,
"You can't drink green beer
With the priest in here
Or we'll have the Devil to pay!"

Let’s call for more saying egads!
While they interfere
With the reason we’re here

Just paying them back for what I owe
A little salt and lime
Plus three shots at a time

Paying hard
the money short
pockets empty
time aborts
A pound of flesh
bills remain

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.

the breath of morning mist
I stand along the shoreline
paying tribute
to those lost
in the wrecks of time

On frozen pond paying no mind to frozen bodies
We pretended
To be legends
Scoring the winning goal, kinda cocky

to avoid paying property taxes
while people are locked down

Safely Hid
Image of her was quite vivid
Until she had become livid
To her not paying any attention
No kind words did I mention
And away myself I safely hid.
