Chen-ou Liu

in the mirror

more strands of gray hair

yet in my mind's eye

I catch a glimpse of me

at 20 with to-do lists

—Chen-ou Liu

box after box

of my immigrant life

in moonlit shadows

those I can't part with

those I can (but will I?)

—Chen-ou Liu

alone

in the shadow

of her man ...

another winter

together alone

—Chen-ou Liu
