early leaf fall ...
I drift where the thoughts
of my exile life
take me today [ten years
and an ocean apart]
in dim light
I'm just a temp in the attic
waiting alone
for another gig ...
chants from afar of USA!
One Man's Maple Moon: Plaintive Cry Tanka by Thelma Mariano
-
*English Original*
the plaintive cry
of a sandpiper
trailing
in the distance
even he can’t say goodbye
Thelma Mariano
*Chinese Translation (Traditional)...
