WunKuen - White Steam Rising lyrics

White Steam Rising A trail of grains lead to the senior center,
 Grains of meager sweatshop living breathing in garment threads,
 Grains of sweat from lifting five grandchildren,
 Grains of panicked hospital stares at family doctors,
 Grains of foreign screams at subway directions,
 Left behind. Now
 Days of dim sum dreams, tai chi breaths, senior pleasure trips,
 Mahjong chatters away joint pains, 
Cloudy eyes crinkled denture smiles,
 Knotted calcified hands of history 
Hold the polished golden rice bowl.
