unloved


Unloved

 

Early in the morning

an old woman rummages

in the garbage with a long stick.

Her stick is as long as a human life.

She is looking for something,

that will bring her happiness.

 

Maybe there is something

among the things she sees

unwanted, unloved

and useless to anyone

-such as herself.

 

Together they are able to

take comfort and survive

another day

in a world where

there is no place for them.


~Alicja Maria Kuberska
