Chen-ou Liu Poems

a monarch
folds into silence...
budding petals
...

In his Christmas message, Pope Francis warned against 'a lust for power, hypocritical double lives and the lack of spiritual empathy among some men of God.'

'Repent, Ye Sinners! '
winter rain sweeping
...

black coffee
and 'NeverEnding Story'...
Christmas sunlight
spilling in
...

lingering smell
of this snowy loneliness...
my night without you
punctuated by the sounds
...

after surgery
both of us said nothing...
her red bra
in the corner of my mind
...

Chinese New Year
on the TV screen...
I whisper of home
in a voice
...
