ငါး

ငါး

တစ္ဘ၀လုံးလုိလုိ

ငါးရယ္လုိ႕ တစ္ေကာင္တေလမွ မမိ

ၾကည့္

မိမယ့္မိေတာ့ စၾက၀ဠာႀကီး

အေပၚဆြဲတင္လုိက္ေတာ့

ငါ့ငါးမွ်ားတံဟာ ကုိင္းညႊတ္ၿပီး

သက္တန္႕ျဖစ္သြား

ငါ့ကုိ ျပန္မွ်ားခဲ့ေပါ့။           ။

fish

almost all my life
i've never caught a fish
look
when i do have a catch
it's the great universe itself
pulling it up
my rod bends
to become a rainbow
and begins fishing me in its turn
