Justin Tang Poems

this is your bitterness
that wants to be set free
that wants you to know, to seek
to have the freedom of curiosity
...

I've driven around your block so many times
chasing myself in circles
lost, screaming, raving, raging like a crazy person
honking, endangering myself and others
...

He had a dream
our children have restless nights
he had a dream
and we have nightmares
...

i'm from the dark side
but i'm one of the lucky ones
...

sweet confusion
loving widespread panic
in my head
in my language
...

Joy of my heart
Truth of my mind
Delight of my soul
My everything
...

i looked for you at parties
i swam to the bottom of bottles

i looked for you in money
...

Love incarnate
Love infinite
grant our love for you endurance
let us always be enchanted, ensorcelled
...

why did i lose my friend,
why did i lose that girl,
why did we move away from home,
and how much did my depression hurt?
...

Your armies marched and warred
five thousand patient years
through our hell, dark and scarred
dried up by death and fear
...
