酷我-北美枫

[anna]

They have been lost, no any
familiar connection, at least in our eyes.
We became the new owner when
we picked them up by the street.

Still clean and usable,
we stuffed them into our trailer
and headed to a warmer place.
Seasons teared our wandering life apart,
their accompany turned dull.

We dreamed of someday
buying a big house filled with new furniture:
a fine table that we would not complain
and so we could have a proper dinner;
a king-size bed that could cradle us, not like this cracked futon,
so we could sleep soundly and wake up at home.

The dream has faded. So did they,
shrunk and stained.
We decided to dump them by the street-
they again astray in the dusk.

I feared to look back-
a crew of rats chew the aged bones.
