from this mud

furthest corner seat
uncomfortable position

gray the work counter
gray the view of the side wall

occasionally the impulse 
to sit up straight 

furthest corner seat
uncomfortable position

orders are growing
gears are urning
and yet

and yet
you do not perceive  the sun
and yet
you cannot feel the sea
and here closeby you know
there is a fine country  that is good to the soul
as to ripped fabric the sewing thread

furthest corner seat
uncomfortable position

gray the work counter
gray the view of the side wall

and yet
I know that from this soil
a flower can grow

yet I know 
that one day
now
but not yet
from this gray mud
a flower wants to bud
