Papusza

I've told you time and again
The stretching rigid pavement hums
Cars broken down
Shallow pit that the horse digs
The virus still exists, a gift the rat gave me
Small box, unwanted, and forced open
Isolated, you keep me alive
Inconsolable rag doll, deaf and dumb
I'll give myself once you leave me
On the poppy tablecloth, knot in my womb
The blood enters the water and it wanders
I watch it wander
