Time has not found me,
So I do not know the hour-
If it is breakfast or lunch
Or whether it is noon
Just before my siesta
Or middle of the morning
When the sun dances
Its stubborn glow.
If you find me in the corner
Sipping water or soup
From the leftover lentils,
Do not disturb me
From my deep silence
Between sleepy eyes
And lifeless arms-
If you have no piece of bread.

From the leftover lentils,
Do not disturb me
From my deep silence
Between sleepy eyes
And lifeless arms-
If you have no piece of bread.
