Rain rain
==================
Mother told her to save them for rainy days.
The rain drops on the future this noon.
This noon of annihilated sun.
  
And, this day she breaks her piggy bank.
Opened, a note from a distant land
With roaming nomads of memory
Flies out. It flies to and fro, settles
On the dust over a black book case.

A currency it is, to be cashed
In a different plain, in a world
With strange lights and figures of the past.
A sepia lane and lame cat crossing…
A sparrow touched by death
A motherly hand placed on her head.


Mother told her to save them for rainy days

clever talks delay friendship!

I think they give the pink text for a reason -- I like it..

The more I read it the more it speaks to me.
And it moves me.

A wonderful write, dear Ku. You and the words make a great couple.

Love,

Haiku! ~ Hi, Ku!

I like the tone and feel of this write.  

"Mother told her to save them for rainy days"

~ and we should always listen to what our mother says.

Really enjoyed this, another one of your wonderful pieces that stays with me when I've finished reading it, thanks. I'm now feeling a little bit sad. Not a big fan of the pink text either though...
