Coronavirus Poetry:Iron Door Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

Coronavirus Poetry:Iron Door Tanka



Sixteenth Entry, Coronavirus Poetry Diary
written in response to this alarming new: "Asian-Americans are rushing to buy guns as they observe an increased number of Asians being targeted by coronavirus-related attacks"

"Chinese virus..."
long wait at the iron door
of a gun store
an Asian-looking man sighs,
"I just want some peace of mind"
