The Echoes Poem by Chen-ou Liu

The Echoes



A Tanka Sequence

waking alone
from the talk with the girl
I met
in childhood dreams
church bells echo from afar

chants
of the ninety-nine percent
echo from afar -
counting winter stars
in my attic window

'being a poet
how do you put food
on the table? '
her words echo from afar
breaking this moonlit night
