A poem in this poetry book:
Dark, dark,
dark—everywhere is dark.
Quiet, deadly
quiet—everything is quiet.
A woman in a white
dress
walks on a road—
that leads to a bridge
in the underworld.
Drink
this tea,
says an old woman,
appearing at the bridge.
No,
the woman in white
pushes it away, knowing
she will forget all the
people and things she knew
when she was alive—she
doesn’t want to—
no!
If you
don’t drink this tea, you can’t cross this bridge.
Then
you can’t be reborn.
The old woman holds the
cup.
No!
the woman cries,
thinking of her husband—
a handsome young man—
big brown eyes
underneath a pair of glasses.
I
would like to wait for my husband at this bridge.
It
will be seventy-five years, child,
the old woman sighs.
Okay,
I’ll wait.
the woman says, wiping the
tears off her cheeks.
