To Be An Overseas Worker Poem by Jesus Diaz Llorico

"To be an overseas worker
in the middle east
is quite difficult...
but if you can share an intimate
conversation with someone
during the silent
and saddest hours
of your resting moments
it is most joyful and enjoyable
the problem comes when
you have been talking
to that person for quite a time
and when that person
decided it's time to let go
that would be the most painful
for its hard to come back
to the way you used to do."
