Chen-ou Liu Poems

"your lips may be near
but where is your heart? "
I plant a kiss
on this shore where I lost her
...

zen workshop
the thought of myself
not thinking of myself
...

old photograph
in a glass trophy case...
with my finger
I trace the faces
...

a haiku sequence written in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty against the twilight sky

July 4th parade
a pink-haired girl face to face
...
