East Meets West, A Haiku Sequence Poem by Chen-ou Liu

East Meets West, A Haiku Sequence



Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, ... Rudyard Kipling, opening line of 'The Ballad of East and West, ' 1889


a flurry of white
against the sunset sky
the smell of blood

gunshots from afar -
on the wall of a mosque
'Go home' spray-painted
