Potato Diggers
Did they go back?……. Did they go back to dig up the fruits of their planting on that small island in the middle of the Seto Sea? Sweet potatoes they were, sweetly planted. Perhaps when they’re older, along some verge at the edge of the paddy field, or in the small plot of soil alongside the railway track, or in a tiny square of dusty soil between the house and the high cyclone wall….maybe………maybe they’ll remember the sweet potatoes that they planted on that small island in the Seto Sea.
Such a tenderness in the eyes….
Indeed, whereas mine own are looking somewhat bloodshot……….
Ha!…..
Get some rest, my friend….
