Ghosts

haunting

timeless words

~

we’re sleepwalking

in loveless union

touching each other

radiating illusions

~

I’m a silent sigh

penetrating imaginary boundaries

Memories

guangdong

my daughter’s grandpa

as a young boy

~

japanese soldiers

ransack the home

~

hide

be still

~

a soldier defecates

on the kitchen table

~

I’m so naive

I’m so lucky

~

Immigrants

my dad’s parents

three siblings

another on the way

~

from a war

my grandpa learned

the horror

possibility

of nationalism

~

my grandpa chose peace

a new beginning

a new home

~

in 1926

my grandpa chose

a boat

to north america

~

The Great Depression

born in uncertainty

~

a phenomenon

giving rise to fascism

destruction

a second world war

~

the despair felt

by many

never left

throughout their life

~

those years

left a mark

taking generations

to live down

~

I’m listening dad

I’m starting to understand

~

Surface

following

forgettable fashions

~

doesn’t matter

what we say, dress, think

nobody’s listening

~

the body is the message

here today

gone tomorrow
