WIND AND CHIME

chime i
is a bell from Thai Airways
hung to the laundry line
high up in the air
away in faraway land
reminds me of childhood

it chime
frantic with the wind
a lullaby in summer
poetic when i am alone
musical when i am down
miss home even more


chime ii
is made of bamboo
sounds like a percussion
when the wind blows continuosly
from the Danga Bay
up to the balcony on the hill

chime iii
is made of shells
clanking when hit by wind
from the beach nearby
noisy during monsoon

chime iv
is a light wooden birdnest
attached to a metal tube
that jingles less in the hill
rythm softly but with a pitch


All chime
anywhere we live
as the family grows
the wind never ceased
the memories live on
its becoming part of home
