(The following haiku's reflect neighborhood life here in Hengyang.)
When outside comes in
peaceful, vivid voices move
like flowing curtains.
Greedy fireworks explode
in the dark outside my window
I awake, alone.
Smoke from the East & West
hazing up the crowded streets
nothing is untouched.
He weevils to and fro
his arms and legs smothered
The little emperor rules.
Grandma’s with no teeth
smile chasing after chickens
Grandpas look away.
Scouring through rubbish
finding treasure or at least
the next meal.
