The Resident

The resident eaks out a living through food, sleep, shuffling, and more sleep content to sometimes merely sit head to chest eyes clamped shut breath staggared and rough often smooth and easy day by day life carries on despite the world going on outside the home Companionship is found through a greek only speaking gentleman who shares her lunch table ~she only speaks english still somehow they communicate and they're together for a lunchtime not lonely other times I am sure the dark tentecles of loneliness grip their souls and wind tight until breath it's laboured premorbid gasp lays waste to life
