Friday, June 27, 2025: Ann Huang's "Aftermath"

 Aftermath

                after Schubert’s Minuet in A Minor

 

Peace has maintained

You— someone so special
other-worldly, complacently
living out of a hope

 

You’ve endured many ordeals
for wearing off your devils
by the sitting bone
at dawn
de-franchising the blood cells
from slapping pains.

 

You’ve found joy
releasing want on earth
from your much-earned matriarch
fracturing bones
of eternal hooks

After a sage opens her window
a butterfly leaves her cocoon
outside limbo
She has obtained
the light of the high-light

Friday, October 14, 2022: Ann Huang's "We are all earth's children"

 

We are all earth’s children

all we need is air &
                                spring
ocean is hectic possessing land
brazenly open to a long haul

being a human is to be remembered
by,
            hostess of breadth
reborn in nature

we are here beyond
                   this earthly life
waving at our ancestors
needing them not to waver

& who will we greet
                     without our past
to stand still in arms reach
of a period so marvelous that it rejoices

Tuesday, April 26, 2022: Anne Huang's poem "Sometimes Earlier"

Sometimes Earlier

Whales and birds for love and a human race. Human race and a preposition. They sometimes take in good deeds. She gave them up and she did not know then. Human race and she was still young. Human race and she was still in love with life. Human race somewhat sold. The cause was that the other race took them and she already knew it.
