Languorous
...
Languorous
the elders
in empty familes
where
the youth have
fled, seeking
fortunes...
the arm chair
await
for a call
from shores
distant...
the vaccum
they left
yawns...
memories
desires...
desolation
accentuates
ailments,
worries
hover round
'who is to
take care '
lucky you are
if you have
your companion
to relate to,
to care,
quarrel with...
luckier if your
health keeps
you engaged...
gone are those
zestful days...
tired race horses
on reprieve...
reclining
staring at
the wall, its corners
touching
the roof
where cobwebs
form...
