Who Cares

6.	WHO  CARES?

Death hides in the
body
but who sees? it’s
obscure

living on the edge
seeking space into
swamp

they all talk about
the sun
swelling in the sky

and close eyes to
the spider
spinning waves on
the ceiling

all alone, but who
cares?
suspicion and
distance

like lovers they 
pretend
to leave, yet stay
longer

dishing out luxuries
showing off
generosity

on the heart’s fancy
table
waiting to welcome
the guest
