so it begins
the descent into the world
of debt
i kept it at bay
as long as I could
but now
there’s a “sold!” sign
draped across a house
not too far
from where we are now
just 2 days
before our 1st anniversary
and really
after all these lost weekends
spent searching
it’s a relief to be able
to move onto the next stage
i signed my name
on an assembly line of
arranged pages
“sign here, please”
“and here, too”
and the nice couple
selling the place
gave us a bottle of bubbly
to take home and celebrate with
it’s yet to sink in
properly
it’s more just
a sense of relief
than anything
but there’s
a newer
longer
list of things to do
waiting for tuesday
no rest
for the wicked
eh?
