Poems

AD

There's an ad that reads:
Heart for rent
Fairly good location
Anyone who's interested
Please, on the 15th night of the lunar month
Direct your inquiries to the full moon
 
The moon waxes and wanes
In the heart chamber, it's drizzling
Not because the rent is too high—
The space is too small
It can't fit many memories in
The door opens and closes
Jammed constantly by the vicissitudes of life
Such that once the chamber is empty
It's empty for many years
 
Walls collapse, tiles crack
The heart chamber becomes obsolete gradually
A renovation or a restoration
Shall have to wait till next life to embark on
