tugging at the nought

between creations

all that

remains

down

to

the dark

alone

where were you born?

a neighbor's knife-sharp question ...

near the fence

I see green leaves and buds

on a maple tree stump

Chen-ou Liu

my body lies

next to my wife's for years

and yet

in a corner of my mind

this woman in red

rolling mist

blue-gray mountains

awaken

steeped in endless fog

mountain folds

older than glaciers

lost in the orchard

in no hurry to be found—

poems grow on trees

end of autumn

a goat eats

the bark of a pine tree

cloud spotting my troubles shifting shape

sensory extension

the deaf cat sees, I listen

summer rain

termite tango

drifting wings

glisten at dusk
