Chinese New Year Of The Tiger Tanka

Rating: 5.0


written on the first day of Chinese New Year
in response to T. S. Eliot's claim

at first light
alone, I repeat myself
the tiger
springs in the new year
us he protects not devours

Tiger, tiger full of fight / with eyes that shine in the night. Happy New Year.
