No 53

If someone
Dies today..

Under some cloud
Or buried
Under a mountain of debt

Poked and prodded
For some signs of life
In a decayed corpse

Locked in
a house
for 2 years

Don’t say

“I’ve been there”

Or say

“I gave a concerned look”

because only the bailiffs called

and wanted to see the woman
behind the door
