_Cracks Sound_

He washes off
 the dust of day’s labour, when the little stars begin to twinkle 
joyously.

His nights are swift,
 but days drag.

His eyes fly open
 before the darkness decreases. He lurches to feet for burdensome
process of livelihood.

His old mother
 waits for the life’s train to crawl into terminus.

His wife is carrying.
 His ailing mother drops to sleep.

The newborn’s cry
 resonates through the house.

He neither
 mourns nor revels the occasions.
