I Have this Garden of Poems








full of flowers that bloom
at first
and then carried away with my greenthumb
i planted everything
trees and more trees and shrubs and bamboos
and vines and hanging plants

almost everything
and so the blooming flowers died
and the grasses diminishing like some
hair of this baldness

but nothing is lost in this garden of poems
the birds came and built their nests
some are still coming
every morning
and then the chirping begins

Cantonese Flower

We spoke of Genghis Khan
and your friend
over cups of tea
and summer heat
The cool breeze unwrapped
your cheap, flowery dress
spilling lust on the
streets of New York City
Lips, turgid with unspoken secrets
caressed tetracycline teeth
as you smiled
and refused the flowers
I almost bought on Houston Street
