Good morning, Vietnam.
Watching the orange glow of the sun rise
Over the still
Ever dark Saigon River.
An orange hot-air balloon
Rising
With an empty
Easily unseen basket
Without earthly tethers.
An orange barge
Already afloat on the tides of Saigon winds
Floating around the world
Pushing forward
Slowly
The weight of the day
Towards the not too distant shores of tomorrow.
