A Blank Check
Master list of angst
bullet points ricochet in French
more common than stars in the sea
Sheer height cranes a neck
wears down the shoulders for the burden
victory useless in the dark
and to the deaf
Love may turn around twice before it sees you
till then spend it freely – collect the interest
that will pay bills
slink off with your heart full
deposit signs that it will arrive
Nonetheless look, spend – save when the cataclysm
ends, grants you reprieve – not a moment before
