Whole

what do you mean
(he looked at her)

what do you mean
disabled
how can you dismantle a person so
easily

her bowed head
lifted face covered with dread

easily
(she whispered)

human is like jar of jam
if a fly spits its surface
it will corrupt
still keepers remain wondering
what happened

nothing happened
nothing new

they left  jar unprotected for too long

easily
(she whispered again)

you are whole to me
(he looked at her)



they could almost hear their eyes
