New York, New York!
O, New York! Fair city of the fairest
Of the fairer sex, who doth kiss the streets
With honey-sweet feet; thus with a bee’s zest,
These eyes entreat thee for thine urban treats!
Buzz, dancing sight! For thither walks my love!
Whitherward chance I ‘pon she—a flower
Midst rare bloom (tho’ hers be rarer)—O, Jove!
Not them, but grant me her! Or her! Or her!
O, New York! Share thy wealth of fairness,
For suburban bumpkin I am, jealous
Of thy five-borough’d embrace’s wideness
As hold dost thou all that’s held beauteous!
And tho’ pretty she, she, and she may be,
With one heart, sad, ‘lone,

Abayo, yamamusume
Grant me, heavenly Euterpe,
Light words as set I to verse
Days in miracle immers’d,
Bidding adieu my blue magpie:
Like Delphic daffodil just ripe,
Didst thou spring in wintry clime;
O, with coy bloom but fairness bright,
Thaw’d fruitless times thy shine.
Thus, cometh a poet’s summer:
Endow’d Pygmalion skill,
T’ward thy name’s youth I endeavour’d
With forever pregnant quill.
Yet, like th’harvest’s sickl’d lantern
Rais’d ‘bove tempting fall’s embrace:
From far shade a fickle return,
Whilst hid elsewhere thy true face.
Now, as fleeing Proserpine,
Fixt Fates dicta

My Taiwanese Galatea
Porcelain perfection
Adorned with two black diamonds—
Dancing iridescence
And a soul-stealing glimmer:
Every layer of one’s being—
Disrobed and discarded;
From the ashes—
An ascending spirit
Unburdened by the earthly.
A playful pearl of tapioca
In every teasing syllable;
A mesmerizing cantabile
Puppeteering this fluttering spirit—
A child’s kite
Ignorant of horizons and
Gravity.
The ballade of Life
Upon her rosy lips.
The imperial princess
Perched upon
The purple pinnacle
Of every aspiration—
Crowning every thought,
Embellishing every moment;
Her existence embraces
Warmer than the kiss
Of th
