ENNUI
in aesthetic room 
tide and tidy mind 
unaesthetic dust reassembling 
within the whole 
embraced by its hollow 
a cracked bowl gasping 
within the need 
knit by a needle 
an empty womb crooning 
within the navel 
pierced by a nail 
parental love enduring 
through the glass window 
under wistful cabbages 
earth’s ulcered guts fretting
