ROOFTILE COUPLE

ROOFTILE COUPLE
  --after Yun Dongju 

On a rainy eve the rooftile couple
think back on their lost and only son
rub their age-bent backs
and let drip their long mournful tears.

On the royal palace the rooftile couple
reminisce over good times
Stroking their wrinkled old faces
eyes fixed
they look into sky.
