My untouched fruit
Falls red and rotten
Bleeding lost sweetness
Upon his hard
. wood
. floor He then passes
. Me an unused rag
Says it was intended
To go in my mouth –
. Now it’s just wasted
food Use this he says
. And some warm
. Water from my spigot
. To wipe it all away
Don’t leave
. A single salty drop
. For me to discover
. After you’ve gone
I will come back
Here for you
Once you’ve cleaned up
. And remember
. When you are in
. My home you
Will take
Care of you r
Own mess
I won’t do it
. For you.
