Today again,
bleeding fingers
and empty hands.
Oh, the ungrateful thing!
The battered green couch,
soft fabric stained with clumps
of dirt-grey hair, torn cushions,
scratched feet –
the overturned bowls
on the kitchen floor –
the open window
and the empty flat.
Oh, the silence...!
bleeding fingers
and empty hands.

soft fabric stained with clumps
