Scaffolding Poem by Kao

Niam

I’m not sure where to begin.

There are many things to focus on.

I am a woman.

Must learn the ways.

Tell me,

            is there more to life than this?

A woman.

Turning here, turning there,

I must understand.

But why can’t I?

There are too many things to focus on.

Your words…

            Spoken with wisdom.

Spoken with truth.

Must learn the ways.

Randomly.

I do sing,

why don’t you?
