Sigh to the catching hands
and
Claps to the throwing hands.

Mosquito net swung
swung along with moving silhouettes of flowers

Leaving phosphorous trails ~~~

Tall trees' hang over,

My uncle was trying to multiply them.

Imagine granny's tales ~~~
She told me
She was twenty when
English soldiers invaded
She run and hide.
Back to village (for a while)
Japan soldiers invaded
Again she run and hide!
Japan soldiers broke the door of house she hide,

A jar of tea
A plate of noodle
A bowl of soup
