Life And Death Amidst A Pandemic Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Life And Death Amidst A Pandemic



A Tanka Set, Ninety-First Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary

venturing
onto the tree-lined street
for the first time
my old friend sings
to a songbird's melody

the smell
lingers in São Paulo's air
row upon row
of wooden grave markers
waiting for names
