Isn’t It The Last Summer? Poem by Cigeng Zhang

Isn’t It The Last Summer?

Rating: 5.0


The wheels of his wheelchair
Rolling over the moving sun
A ceramic plate, blue and old
Covered with shattered lilacs
Today is Saturday, someone
in a pair of fisherman's shoes
The weather no good, too cold
A hasty rain beats on his breath
Wind plays with running shadows
He wonders if he rides on a cloud
The petals quietly lie in the plate
The dying aroma is much to be pitied
