中国大好き

Zhou Fangru
SINGLE WOMAN

At Hangzhou Xiaoshan airport
going through security,
they pat everyone down from head to toe,
including the crotch,
and you take off your shoes, they pat the soles of your feet.

When it was my turn,
I felt like crying all over my face,
don’t know how long it has been
since someone touched me this way.
