The enameled sole vessel,

a window, one bed and table on bedside, —

my life is hard and unconvenient,

but it’s convenient to die.

I’m lying down thinks that

who yesterday had gone in otherworld

which is unreachable and trulely obstruct

was with white bedsheet encovered.

The quiet water drips from faucet, that’s messed.

And life is ruffled like a slut,

It comes out of which likely can be missed

and sees: one bed and table on bedside…

And I’m trying to get up

and want to look into its eyes.

Avert my own eyes — my tears just are going to burst up

and I have nevermore to die.
