Chen-ou Liu Poems

April snowflakes
a black hole
in my universe
...

butterflies
wing over cherry petals -
shadows embracing
...

'Rashomon Gate'
on my attic wall
shifting shadows
...

under the blanket
of an autumn night
the muse and I
do nothing
...

he lies
in a gold-plated casket…
just my size
...

For Roland Barthes
...

long, narrow
aisle to the altar
the guests
stand on both sides thinking
...
