"Facing H"

"Face

Facing homelessness

  what a mess

Bugs everywhere

  in the house

Get out, Get Out!

      GET OUT!!

Walk around.

Am I sick?..

  Urine.

On the carpet

  Shit,

on the wall..

Poor me,

so tall-

So tall…

Long to be held..

By a man again..

Am I sick?..

  To the Foodshelf?..

Far away-

  in the country..?

To the shelter-

  in the city?…

Loveme-

Loca

Loveme-

Looovemeee-

  My girl-

Where are u?..

(in the land?…)

(And )"
