Chen-ou Liu

 

tongues of fire …
the things I take
the things it takes

drawn-out yawn . . .

a flotilla
of fishducks
*

garden path
one firefly constellation
then another

 

 

Chen-ou Liu is the author of two award-winning books,  Following the Moon to the Maple Land  and A Life in Transition and Translation. His tanka and haiku have been honored with many awards.
