A creepy ghoul moth
a good-for-nothing-cat
rubs against my leggings
*
Half a life
is not an unfinished life
she murmurs
*
Migrant sparrow
on bamboo scaffolding
coughs
*
I sit and sit
until my ass is rotten
(can’t sanitize my mind)
*
She’s addicted to “Dae Jang Geum”
I’ve succumbed to “Moonlight Resonance”
*
She says
I love you I hate you
You have wasted my life!
我愛你，我恨你，你浪費了我的生命！
*
At Yonghe Gong
I burnt incense at the Great Buddha’s toenail
*
Perfume of sick mother
bleach of departed father
A scent like cucumber
*
Death haiku
Won’t change your strategy
