a little girl
a little girl
sits on the sidewalk
beneath the rag shirt
skin covers bone
she sits calmly
looks at passers
no parents around
she sits by herself
she does not cry
neither she smiles
nor begging for food
only looks at passers
someone comes close
her eyes open wide
seem to fill with hope
of a full meal
when passers pass by
sweep along her hope
she turns her focus
to the next passers
