The Sense Of An Ending? Poem by Chen-ou Liu

The Sense Of An Ending?



A Tanka Sequence

night shift done,
I clutch a bottle
down the snowy road
to where we live
-my shadow and I

one glass of wine
after another
loneliness
shrinks to the size
of my attic room

soul-tired
of my drunken shadow
in dim light
I open the window
to let out the silence
