Uchechukwu Onyedikam / Christina Chin 


young stripling 
bearing the task
to her side

loading corn stalks 
on a cart


na-eto eto stripling
na-ebu ọrụ ahụ
n'akụkụ ya

na-ebu ọka ọka
na ụgbọ ala


少年郎
在她身旁
幫忙扛

把乾草捆
裝手拉車上


*







frigid air
in the porch

the loyal collie 
wags at its 
master's whistles


ikuku oyi
na ihe owuwu ụzọ mbata

nkịta na-eguzosi ike n'ihe
na-aga na ya
onye ukwu ịfụ


門廊上
寒氣逼人

忠實牧羊犬
聽聞主人口哨
搖搖尾巴
