Forever Give

This poem was inspired by the trash dump at Stung Meanchey. I wrote the poem from a perspective of a trash.

If I could be a tree …

I would turn myself big and cover you up

I would turn my leaves into cash and chase you toward the ending sky

they would run about your head and drop in piles at your feet…

so you would understand wonder.

 

If I could be a mountain …

I would kneel down and lift you up

I would turn my ground into a house so you can see all the wonderful places

so you would understand freedom.

 

If I could be an ocean …

I would transfer you across the great seas with my heart waves

You would swim with the dolphins and turtles in the growing waters,

So you would understand hope.

 

If I could be the sun …

I would warm you up

After the orange light turn out before the dark light turn in  

I would gaze to the sky

show you the wonder, freedom, hope that it provided.

 

But who I am is who I am …

I am trash…

Love you until the end

Until the place close down…

Until the mountain kneels down and lift you up ….

Until the ocean transfer you across the great seas ….

Until orange light burns out ….

That how much I love you !!!

Forever and never want anything in return!!!!
