Chen-ou Liu, CA

 

ice clinking
in my whisky glass
her face floats

 

 

awake among stars...
beneath a basement window
my single bed

 

 

equinox...
an autumn butterfly dream
beyond the window

 

 

blood-dotted dance floor...
somewhere in the distance
a lone mating call

 

 

shouting match...
a boy drums his fingertips
on the windowpane

 

 

first day of Ghost Month
a distant howl breaking
the moonless night

 

 

I see a man
in the black hooded robe...
Christmas dream

 

 

Christmas Eve
silhouettes in the window
with a bullet hole

 

 

Christmas morning
my neighbor's kid cuts off
his snowman's head

 

 

my heart flutters
like a crested pigeon
first sunrise...
