The Boy At Laoy Poem by RIC BASTASA
The Boy At Laoy
the boy is selling
charcoal
the teacher marks
him absent
from school
another boy cannot
make it this year
for graduation in his
sixth grade
his mother is in
the house resting
as she just delivered
a new baby girl
the boy has to buy
her food
a chicken soup
to warm her guts
his father died
two months ago
lost in the sea
the typhoon came
without notice
