I want nothing, just stand by the forest behind the tree.
Tiredness still lingers on Dawn’s eyes, and dew is in the air.
The lazy smell of wet grass hangs in the mist of the ground.
Under the banyan tree, you squeeze the milk with your creamy and soft hands.
I stood quietly.
I did not approach you.
The sky wakes up together with the sound of gongs in the temple.
The street dust flew under the hooves of the driven cattle.
Hold the gurgling water bottle around your waist,
The women came from the river.
Your bracelets jingle, and the milk foam overflows the rim of the can.
The morning light fades away but I do not approach you.
