Expect Nothing
Give, ask for nothing, hope for nothing,
Subsist on crumbs, though scattered casually
Not for you (she smiles) but for the birds.
Though only a thief’s diet, it staves off
Starvation, nor does she grow fat
On the bread she crumbles, while the lonely truth
Of love is honored and her pledged word.
