Papaya Tree
William Kim
Long ago, beneath the old veranda
Rests a well-established Papaya tree
It is as though a mother were
breastfeeding numerous children at once
Countless days of a dry spell
With a sizzling midday heat, like a burning hearth
Lightning strokes of the rainy season
With ten million raindrops battering the earth
As she waits for the clear sky
She holds her fruits tight against her bosom
