Hanoi


spatters of night rain
on Tue Tinh Street

a woman walks her bicycle
loaded with plastic bags

I watch her patiently sort
through rubbish

turn away from the streetlight
to pull out my money

find a suitable note
not too big

turn around
with inner generous smile

the woman and her bicycle
have dissolved into the dark rain
