The Faucet and the Water Pipe | Anne Yoshioka (9)

A known pair.

They go together, 

Help each other, and support each other.

A perfect harmony, right?


The faucet is turned; but how far?

The water trickles out slowly,

A thin thread of water, a silver wire.


Is this how it’s supposed to be?


The pipe is neck high with water.

A coiled spring, waiting for the slightest release. 

But the okay signal never came.


As if held in captivity, the pipe was constrained.

A plant in the darkness, where the skies are limited, and growth is no longer in reach.
