That Summer
BY Rose Lu(Binghua) Tr. East Sea Fairy
Having a pink one-piece on,
Eyebrow long fringe,
ears short hair
And long eyelashes
Reading two pools of water
Without lipslicking
And pondering rouge
I put on a pair of pink silk stockings
And a pair of tee-strap sandals
Left home without telling anybody
To look for him quietly,
And sitting silent to wait
In the little lane where he might appear
He came
And my cheeks turned crimson red
At a loss what to do
I said something that made no sense at all
He left
And strings of crystal clear tears
Spattered on the ground
