Poem 069

The faraway hometown keeps

calling

calling me back

through the rapids

bravely going forward

only for the cute

little babies I never get to meet.

遙遠的故鄉不停地
在呼喚
呼喚我回去
穿越激流
勇往直前
只為了可愛的
無緣見面的小寶寶。

H・Sunny

Salmon push upstream through churning currents, their bodies bright with instinct and the pull of distant home.
