Ten Years After Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Ten Years After



A Haibun

Bathed in winter sunlight, Father sits on the front porch stairs. A wooden cane between his knees, hand over hand, resting on the handle.

white streaks
in my hair and beard
first homecoming

I ask Father, 'How have you been these years? ' I immediately regret my stupid question. Without answering, Father looks deep into my eyes... a smile emerges at the corners of his mouth.
