Chen-ou Liu
table for one
barely above a whisper …
year-end dinner
snow crystals
on my neighbor’s windows …
Foreclosure askew
first job interview
my shadow
on the sunlit snow
strawberry stains
on the corners of my son’s mouth …
his laugh in my laughter
laid off again …
this snowy night lengthens
car by car
alone with my shadow
on the childhood beach
gull after gull …
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 honoured with many awards.

as a child, I learn to eat words
fill me up with words
brittle like sugared almonds
they crunch in my bones

green spruce cone
a globe of sap slips
