For China's 'Left-Behind Kids,' A Free Lunch
10 miles before dawn
On unpaved mountain path
In Shaanxi Province
Trekking through sleet and mud
To learn
For years
Hunger walked with her,
Clinging to her stomach,
Robbing brain of concentration and body of grace
Now steaming rice, spicy tofu, and green spinach awaits
For 3 yuan, a small blessing
For hungry minds
