Temple of support

People come here only occasionally

They bring money, night and day

the front doors are open

adorned with gilded carvings

 

I cried at the farewell

Daddy's hands on my shoulders

mama's kisses on my head

I was a chosen child

 

but I didn't cry for joy

I cried for all the years

I dedicate to the fire

in this temple of support

 

This is my fate

in a holy covenant

with the fate

of the others
