Chen-ou Liu Poems

thoughts of Taiwan...
I place mom's homemade pillow
towards the moon
...

New Year's drink
our yellow streams cross
each other's
...

sultry dusk...
the nape of her neck
draws me in
as a streetlamp
...

casting no glances
at me
Time is a hectic traveller -
I've greyed
...

blind date:
her long hair cascading
into the spring night
...

plum blossoms...
I shake off all thoughts
of returning home
...

Silent Night
drifting in from the neighbors -
I relearn Chinese
...

fork in the road...
standing still to hear
the leaves
...

I love you...
that hazy moon
in Rashomon
...
