Kamiel Choi Poems

After twenty years I found my violin teacher
on Facebook. She remembered me, that was one of the joys of teaching, she wrote.

In the mean time, entire lives have started:
...

Lured by a row of pastel macarons
I enter the store like a stray verse,
looking for comfort in its soothing hues
The soft face behind the counter smiles
...

Wealth
A downtown apartment with security and a water cooler.
The furniture landscape emerging from a Persian rug.
Slow drip coffee. Long bookshelves with "art".
...

That day the rooster missed the sunrise
a strangeness sat on the world
White birds are counting each other's autographs
because the horizon smells of burnt rubber
...
