353. Seventh Day of Christmas

They came to my door
Begging for shelter
I had nothing
To spare
The woman
The man
A cold night followed

In the bustle around me
Noise filled the air
Nothing could drown the sound
Knock. Knock.
Ear-splitting cries
Everyone here
Paying tribute to Caesar
Every room taken
Rome pays the bills

Full. Frustrated. Food. Fear. Fighting.

There is no more room
Like there in your womb
We cannot fit more
Try another door

No more room

If I could help you I would
But my neighbor should

You cannot come in
There is no more room tonight
There is my stable
