who sees this in us?

who sees
the worst of you?
the mood, the dark brooding,
the blue cloud
and discontent?
who witnesses that 
cold skin,
children,
the mailman,
the neighbor,
the wife?
strangers on the road,
the dog with his leash
in his mouth.
who can see this part
of you,
the part you keep hidden?
