Spleen III
The
faces of Chinese women in anguish
forced detentions
the razing of homes
the vanity of old men with dyed hair
the tether of foolishness
already in opposition
at times the only way out
sits quietly upon the stair
shoo away the temple rats
(maybe pray away the time)
Guanyin please help us
fold these dumplings with extra care
shoo away the temple rats
(maybe pray away the time)
Guanyin please help us
fold these dumplings with extra care
some
faces from the years I've lived there:
