Chen-ou Liu, CA

 

 

 

 

Haiku

 

the white dress
slithers along the ground...
a raven's call

 

 

leaden sky...
his Jack-o’-lantern glowing
for the third day

 

 

blood moon...
a scream cut off
in the middle

 

 

snow flurries...
a tall black homeless man
holding out his hand

 

 

long way home
I tell the secret
to falling snow

 

 

dead end alley...
the winter moon
and one howl

 

 

a black boy
in a pool of blood
first snowflakes

 

 

dewdrops
on the morning glory
here and now, and yet...

 

 

power outage...
ten thousand stars dancing
in my mind

 

 

murmuring
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
spring snowfall

for Elizabeth Taylor
(February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011)
