IN A VILLAGE BY THE SEA
by Muon Van
In a fishing village
by the sea
there is a small house.
In that house,
high above the waves,
is a kitchen.
In that kitchen is a bright,
glowing fire.
In that fire
is a pot of steaming noodle soup.
By that soup sits a woman,
watching and stirring.
By that woman is a sleepy child,
yawning and turning.
By that child,
tucked in the shadows,
is a dusty hole.
In that hole is a brown cricket,
humming and painting.
In that painting is a sudden storm,
roaring and flashing.
In that storm is a white boat,
crashing and rolling.
In that boat is a fisherman,
hoping the storm will end soon
because in his village by the sea
there is a small house,
and in that house is a family
waiting for him to come home.
