I Become The One Who Forgets His Dream Song Poem by Chen-ou Liu

I Become The One Who Forgets His Dream Song



A Haibun for John Berryman

solstice...
counting snowflakes
on the window

There are two voices fighting for the control of my mind. One says, "Just keep writing, " and I ask, "writing for whom? " The other whispers in the dark, "for the dead whom you did love."

first light...
my copy of The Middle Way
dog-eared

I start to spin the poems of darkness out of falling snow.
