Poem a Week<br />

More Snow<br />

new snow fills up the backyard<br />

trees bend under it<br />

cats keep to the shoveled paths<br />

the deep-frozen car<br />

is mounded<br />

like a polar bear<br />

icicles three feet long<br />

glisten from the eavestroughs<br />

they will fall like swords<br />

when the sun comes out<br />

it’s hard to picture<br />

bulbs<br />

under the snow<br />

snowdrops and crocuses<br />

ticking like alarm clocks

Thirty One<br />

(Reading the photographs of Walker Evans and Anastasia Samoylova in the book<br />

Floridas)<br />

I didn’t know Walker Evans also drew. I celebrate his photographs as much as<br />

Anastasia’s. Is pink the colour of Florida? Seems authentic, but I also saw blue,<br />

rusty red, Tyrian purple and all the others. His photographs and paintings, in<br />

black and white, muted blue, green, gray and brown; hers, a kaleidoscope of<br />

rainbow splashes. How her Barge Reflection reminds me of a Xinjiang scarf, the<br />

mirage of a metropolis, and all the green pastures, rising. She always gives more;<br />

her density and vibrancy leave me in awe. Which comes first, her eyes, her heart,<br />

or her camera. I once saw Evan’s picture of a Resort Photographer, she and her<br />

woman sitter, her props an ocean liner, short palm trees, two or three pelicans, and<br />

an alligator. She bent down, with both hands securing the tripod, she inspected<br />

the horizon, the pristine blue water of the Gulf of Mexico. Anastasia’s alligator<br />

in Gatorama baths in a pink brick; blue-tiled pool of water jetting out from a<br />

tube. From Evan’s ladder to Anastasia’s ladder, from John Rybovich & Sons to<br />

Michael Rybovich & Sons, from 1960 to 2021. In the rendezvous in Florida, she<br />

encountered the American south, signs and letters, light, patterns, layer by layer.<br />

Her viewfinder finds more–there is order in chaos, and chaos in order. Is this<br />

delusion or reality? In this picture of a dome house, where a horizontal flag flying<br />

on its pole, she spotted the upside-down America.

Travelling Palm<br />

Snapshots<br />

Tamara Chatterjee<br />

USA (November, 2000) – We arrived at<br />

Monument Valley via the Valley of the gods;<br />

as the glowing light of a majestic sunset<br />

had begun to settle against the horizon,<br />

showcasing the monumental buttes in full<br />

glory. We spent the night in the lodge, before<br />

meeting with our Navajo guide first thing<br />

the following morning. She navigated us<br />

towards numerous mythical sites including;<br />

the Mittens, the Ear of the Wind, the Eye<br />

of the Sun and the Three Sisters. All much<br />

more magical under a dusting of snow, which<br />

unfortunately evaporated with the midday<br />

sun.

John Ashbery was wanted<br />

在 警 察 登 門 之 前<br />

我 沿 火 災 逃 生 樓 梯<br />

來 到 他 的 住 所<br />

Before the cops arrived,<br />

Through the fire escape<br />

I got to his apartment.<br />

他 不 在 , 事 實 上<br />

他 已 經 好 久<br />

不 在 那 裡 住 了<br />

He wasn’t there, in fact<br />

He hadn’t been there for<br />

Some time now.<br />

之 後 在 紀 念 品 商 店 我 遇 見 他<br />

全 身 穿 著 白 色 衣 裳 , 甚 至<br />

戴 著 一 對 雪 白 的 手 套<br />

Then at a souvenir shop, I saw him<br />

All dressed in white. He was<br />

Even wearing a pair of white gloves.<br />

「 為 什 麼 要 把 我 的 詩<br />

印 在 冰 箱 磁 貼 上 呢 ?」 他 問<br />

「 因 為 我 們 需 要 你 啊 」 我 回 答<br />

“Why would they put my poetry<br />

On fridge magnets?” He asked.<br />

“Because you are wanted.” I replied.

Leaving Taichung<br />

Station<br />

Bob Black<br />

萬 里 (10,000 Li)<br />

“Years staining from the inside out.”—Jenny Xie<br />

“There is, you see, no shortage of gain and loss.”—Diana Khoi Nguyen<br />

Your fingers ink the world regardless of station and tributaries<br />

the stains you left behind in your exiting<br />

the turnstile of your voice<br />

the paw marks damp in the earth<br />

the ones followed, ineluctably<br />

an abacus of flight.


Your fingers ink the world newspaper brief<br />

the paper cup of fried chicken grease along the footsteps, ascending<br />

toward a corner of Feng Chia’s cacophonous night of bodies<br />

lit of traffic love and baobao managing thumb grease and lips bright, alight<br />

neon toward our disappearance, hearts and ambition<br />

pen the clatter of porcelain, upended bowls, spattered napkins, keeling sputters<br />

abrasions made right by the sharing of looks over food-stalls and boot’d love<br />

the barking in this negotiated night, animal innards and teen dreams awkward, beibei<br />

luminous in the abacus of flight.<br />

Your fingers ink the world turning, left<br />

the balcony you left behind in your upending<br />

to shift through hickory and honey-comb’d light<br />

to unseat a wobbly head and regain the recumbent, flickering heart<br />

to reclaim the light in the lantern light window<br />

to unease someone alone and carving out a memory, erase<br />

to let the trip disappear completely, an evaporated stain on the lily and lace<br />

the paw marks damp in the earth<br />

the ones dreamed up before let loose late in the afternoon, the lines along the laundry<br />

a man walking in circles in the nude around a box,<br />

the distance we once imagine for the entirety of our life, ineffable.<br />

love, the name we shaped with our tongues before departing once and forever stained<br />

the countries we drew upon, the rhymes we spoke, the food we shared, the nights dimpled<br />

unamended and spoken once again from the inside out, we were the gain and the loss<br />

life’s rich demand and two organs, two mouths and two bands of recumbent helix and two<br />

words,<br />

the two of us added up into two characters and infinite stories, composed of ink strokes<br />

multitudinous and clear<br />

beads of repining fingers over the pinewood that smoked the squid, the ink rending our<br />

mouths:<br />

萬 里<br />

as the tenderness of the stars falls away.<br />

For: three poets of grief, Jenny Xie, Diana Khoi Nguyen and Wan-lin Yang<br />

Our fingers ink the world, the abacus of light<br />

the time it took to cross the ocean from this life to the next<br />

10,000 books and 10,000 words and 10,000 moments and 10,000 chambers of grief
