Water (Transl.) Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Water
(translated from the Dutch original)

What's the weather like today?
Rain, rain, and more rain
it hurts when it rains often

stains biggest stains when it rains
stains on the street
stains on the paths

big puddles in the garden
big puddles on the paths

I cry when it rains
tears are also water
water like rain

what's the weather like today?
just
water from my eyes
and water from the sky

I cry and it rains too
all water

Sylvia Frances Chan
