Inspired By Issa - New Year's Morning Temple Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Inspired By Issa - New Year's Morning Temple



smoke denser
than house on fire
new year morning's temple

joss-sticks bigger
and taller than the gods
new year eve's temple

inspired by

on New Year's morning
the prayers to Buddha
come and go
-Issa,1825
