A wife's slumber

 

 

 

Went hometown and came

 

because friend's mother died

 

Dad could not even walk

 

with mother

 

went to father's grave and

 

came

 

till the night is deep

 

a wife laughed

 

while watching entertainment shows

 

and mini-series

 

turns off the lights

 

closes eyes

 

starts crying

 

went to see

 

father

 

didn't talk

 

didn't laugh

 

didn't get angry

 

it only gave her

 

more longing

 

blows her nose

 

weeps and whispers again

 

"even if only had four thousand dollars

 

could had a hope to live

 

why didn't give

 

eight hundred dollars?

 

children cannot fully love parents

 

a wife says

 

"suffered too much"

 

when she looked at the picture of family members

 

hanging on the wall

 

 

 

The time

 

when the sky dawn light

 

crosses the window

 

father's gift

 

with keep longing

 

a wife falls asleep.
