The key

There is a door
On the house across the street
Always close
And I have waited
Someday someone would open it

Then I realized that house
No one lives there
Wild grass has taken over the sidewalk
The darkness filled the key hole

But last night
I heard noises
I thought someone opened the door
But no
It was just a cat
Came back for his owner
Starched on the door

I looked up in the sky
With a question
But I only saw the clouds
Silently flowing in the night
Carrying the keys.


The key symbolizes freedom for Palestinian. When they were forced out of their houses into concentration camps, they took their keys with them with the dream that someday they will get to go back and open their doors.

Phong sương mặc kệ, chí chẳng vơi.
Lĩnh cao một cõi hiên ngang đứng,
Soi rọi nghìn năm đất muôn nơi."
