Bloodily Defaced Temple Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Bloodily Defaced Temple Tanka



Fiftieth entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary

two lion statues
at a Buddhist temple
"bloodily" defaced
with a sledgehammer...
gathering dark in Montreal

FYI: Sixty per cent of all Canadian deaths linked to COVID-19 have occurred in Quebec, including more than one-third in Montreal alone."
