A rather excellent one by our dear friend Soulless
A Night of Payment
-Soulless
Our dear loanshark,
eternally you impose
a staggered payment
scheme on all of us
walking debts.
We borrow what we forget
you own; we owe
interest
with laughter and jest as currency,
and for all the audacity we muster with age
we never can tell
when the next payment is due.
I, for one, am silenced
for the time being
and no richer than the night
that rents its coat from you
wow.. this is very deep.. and i have a couple of different takes on it… i think i will save it and see how i feel about it after another perusal… excellent writing….
