Thanks for sharing this translation, A. Gee, and for this deeply moving memoir.

…e seen but one pure source of tears
The tears of mothers, their insistence
On holding memory at bay
They can’t forget, not for a day
Their fallen sons, wet grass their pillow
Just as the mournful, weeping willow
Can’t lift its branches, in its way…
