wherever eyes encounter
forget-me-nots blue

new year's eve
sizzling with firecrackers
my mother's dumplings
April rain
my father bows
before burning ghost money

seniors’ home
in her medicine box
my childhood photo

20th anniversary
sand in the bed
sound of rough waves
LHA - October 2016
we stop fighting
clams shut
with sand inside
LHA - October 2016
wild lilies
on my fingertip
your hair scents
LHA - October 2016
swan lake
someone’s heart
I once drew
LHA - October 2016
autumn leaves somewhere still in my dream
LHA - October 2016
signing a will
in the mirror
lilies and I both pale
