One Man's Maple Moon: Cobwebs Tanka by Marilyn Humbert

English Original

cobwebs tangle
in the dusty corners
of my house --
like the burdens
weighing on my mind

Cattails, May 2014

Marilyn Humbert


Chinese Translation (Traditional)

滿布塵埃
的屋子角落
蜘蛛網糾結在一起 --
像是壓在心頭
的重擔

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

满布尘埃
的屋子角落
蜘蛛网纠结在一起 --
像是压在心头
的重担
