Thin as winter fruit,

he stood in the orchard

extending his hand,

begging in an unknown tongue.


I was nine years old.


Fourteen years later

I want to offer him

a taste of orange

juice flowing down

a dusty throat.

"a taste of orange

juice flowing down

a dusty throat."


Such an image, I can taste the orange juice myself.
