Passing By
Clean old parent home
has not been cleaned
over ten years
In those old days
built the house
put the wooden bridge
carrying the rice bale
on the shoulder
walked around the neighbor roads
now
even a small step
uneasy
Classify the garbage
making the money
the iron products
collect separately
See
through the gap in main door
white haired man
trying to take one or two
hand over
a battle of water
a piece of bread
give
saying thank you
doing it non-stop
gets out of the alleyway
It is going to rain
with the mind of concern
looked upon to the sky
only clouds flow
Among luxury cars
a shabby cart
passing by.
