Between Us Poem by Wai Him Cheng

This is a cold morning
When Brother and me
Eating tasteless breakfast
We are Talking about vaccines
And the season migratory birds
Pull up the huge shadow
And remain their wings.
We tried
to read the News of Virus
Hesitate, we are
If the vaccines can able to
Brings us closer
Those doubts
accumulation
along with the memory and
loss of hope
loss of the
neighbor
for more than ten years
I'm stuck
because of
the distance between us
Leave the pen
In the kitchen
waiting for another poem
to be produced
The wind grazes
blossoms aside the river
And His empty bed.
Once he left,
The empty
Brandy snifter on
The embroidered mats
Bear the solitarily
I can ever hear
The television was
Broadcasting
Those dancing girls
floating to songs
with ease.
