Lip To Lip Poem by James Mills

Lip To Lip

Rating: 5.0


Small-town news
slipping lip to lip.

'His wife - you know,
the man with rock 'n' roll hair,
well she's dying, God love her.'

Worlds imploding in pain -
corner gossip shared
while rattling the change
in the pocket,
tut-tutting the weather.

Adding their bit.
'They live apart, you know.
Well I have to go.
Such a pity.'

Sharing is caring.
'God love her' is meant.
It's the small-town way,
God love us.
