The Only Gravestone We Visit for Now
My grandma was the first of us to devise our emigration plan.
She was also the first of us to be buried in a foreign land.
Will her ghost stay here with our new generation, will she roam alone?
Or will her ghost rest with our ancestors and find her way back home?
I didn’t realize I was the first of us to be born here when I was younger.
Maybe we’ll make a new land to live in where the footprints of ghosts linger.
