TU HUYNH ____________________________________ A PAINTER'S CROSSING On this abandoned highway, I follow a man Dressed in green and burdened by a heavy pack, He sometimes looks back, As if someone will come to take him away As if by chance, a trail of dust from a distance, Loud wheels to move forward the time, To drown the sound of the crows in the field Releasing him from playing his part. No one will come. I stand in the heat staring at boot prints in the sand, The child once again, "father of the Man", To wonder of a stillness the past often brings, Hoping to one day find the truth to everything - No one knows but him, The man, the myth, the Suicidal King.
