The (Lost) Love Song Of Eric Liu Poem by Chen-ou Liu

The (Lost) Love Song Of Eric Liu



A Tanka Sequence


she whispers,
'what does a poet do? '
running her fingers
through my chest hair...
I moan, 'makes love to the world'

the moon
soaking with wet light
our tangled clothes
on the sand...
one star, then many

she left me
for a woman in red
at the beach
I hear mermaids
singing each to each
