Slumber

  He lies, arms akimbo
  Face deep in slumber
  A waft of wind, unlike in the snow
  blows around the little toddler.
  
  His mother carries
  a bag of wisdom
  bound in color
  dressed like black berries
  
  For she has not seen
  her husband
  in Yangzhou
  for half a decade, since.
  
  The books pile up
  as she walks in
  she reads to him aloud
  so that a good school
  may take him in.

  That's very pleasant. A bit of sadness in there, but a lot of hope for the kid.

  thanks for reading.
  
  oh, and for that old poem, it's not about a prisoner, it was about my first 3 weeks in BMT.
