streams of blinking headlights
the lone paper mulberry tree
cicada husks along the stone embankment
the hum of distant traffic
last buses
newborn dragonflies drying their wings
stranded on thanh nien street
noon chess battles
green mossy water
couples spaced evenly apart
night vendor calls
the city across the water
greeted by the temple dogs
a persimmon sunset
got scolded by dad
night fishermen
golden shower trees in bloom
sidewalk tea stall
the summer we buried our dog
the sun plays crystal with my eyes
39°c in july
where time slowed down
milkwood in the evening air
the road home
the mid-autumn lantern parade
afraid of ghosts
summer sky stretching high above
holding onto my hat
mom said not to trust the water
homebound birds
lotus fading in late summer
after fireworks
winter mornings, skipping school
50 words for snow on repeat
grilled corn
a 3 am run
17 kilometers of sadness
the cry of the golden buffalo beneath
everything felt smaller then
lovegrass grown thick after the rain
distant temple bells
the year's first cold morning
our first winter
cold cold drizzle
waiting for a meteor shower at 2am
under a cloudy sky
days spent searching for coots
January morning fog
sending off the golden carp
5 am without the city
21°3′18″N 105°49′12″E
nothing but the wind
where my tuxedo cat came to rest
floodwaters overflowing the banks
empty benches
to the end of the west
sunken city
where the nine-tailed fox fell
where i forgave myself
