Poem No. 3
A man, in a room, eats his dinner;
a bite, a sigh, and another –
that's the way he spends his meal
It's not that he's old,
it's not that he's slow
which makes him sad,
but this picture is solemn,
because he eats alone –
his life, is now spent alone
A bite, a sigh, and another;
is his gentle weeping
for no one to hear –
except his memories?
