Debt
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
