Untitled poem

by Travis Yeh

Pressed leather hands
He stares, lost
Repairing thin soles

About this poem

YPN team: Travis’ poem is very moving whilst also being very economical with space and language. “Pressed” gives the impression of pain or prayer, whilst “leather hands” suggests hard work and is also in poignant contrast to the “thin soles”. Travis tells a whole story in nine words.
