Breakfast

He put the coffee

In the cup

He put the milk

In the cup of coffee

He put the sugar

In the coffee with milk

With the small spoon

He stirred

He drank the coffee with milk

And he put down the cup

Without talking to me

He lit

A cigarette

He blew circles

With the smoke

He flicked the ashes

In the ashtray

Without talking to me

Without looking at me

He got up

He put

His hat on his head

He put on

His rain coat

Because it was raining

He went out

Into the rain

Without a word

Without looking at me

And me, I took

My head in my hands

And I cried.
