Poems about Poetry
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
