#14 Saved

A brief nod to chocolate

When all else fails

 

The phone is silent

For almost two days

 

While opened bills

Remain waiting unpaid

 

The dog insists she must pee

As cold rain falls harder

 

There is nowhere to go

Encouraging a purposeless life

 

How many more chances

Are there left at seventy-two

 

Dark chocolate with chili

Is reached for to save the day
