A peacock who
cares not for her young,
Makes a most peaceful and beauteous breakfast
companion.

Dynamite Tender
Written as part of an exploration with Tiana Nobile, of the 46-Syllable Chinese Vernacular poems, which were popular during 19th Century Chinese America:
Dynamite Tender
Tendrils of flame grasp,
Mother's hand-made maps,
Hastily slipped through the trunk's cracks,
promissory notes: Come Back.
Such tender,
Held no sway over him,
For men of steel and fire,
Dreams are but the sparks and ash.
