Aurea mediocritas

free verse
She settled for with
what remained:
- leftover of dinner and lunch
- a disused bra
- second-hand shoes hurting someone else’s feet
She settled for with
what remained.
For laziness.
For sloth.
For fear to ask.
She was feeding
with deprivation,
holding everything,
not making a sound,
not clamoring.
As a dog
that does not
dirty.
