Love Conquers the Mind
we sat down at the table
started eating
we had a pleasant conversation
I reminisced about the past with a friendly heart
enjoyed the meal
But the one who sat before me
Couldn't tell the story coherently
the message is truncated
scattered into the air
Uncle next to me whispered
--I was cured of tuberculosis
by her in a town
where there were no doctors and nurses
which was severe in childhood--
"she has out of my mind."
Throughout the meal Time,
she was busy bringing delicious food
in my bowl.
