As with Recitation and The Loss of a Kuhi

by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé

this thieving of love

tightrope against what it means –

to visit the past

who is good; who wrong?

which brittle, yellowing build?

of old, bluing tarpaulin?

uniform as points, squares, lined

instincts and numbers primed too

quiet eyes like dark opal

their squircle an open seat

under chestnut shade

as with basho on his mat

there he lays, small, crouched

under a low-lying cave

its long, empty lake

praetoria of ruins gone

fingers curled into his palm

unfurling, unclenched –

tired hope for newer days
