Emptying memories


River runs empty


You brought me here mother,
The April fullmoon illuminating
This river bed village,
People's merriment echoing, then,
There was water.

While I collected my father's bones,
Your finger pointed
Where three generations were cremated.

On collecting your bones now
River runs empty
Water doesn't matter much
Your memories run
