LI QING ZHAO’S
KITCHEN
1.
S poons that are wheem-si -cal
and walls which are argot blue,
Candles burning signet straight
Come blinding back to you,
a starling for your dope
White mouth; a hint
that you’ll face turgid south ;
the surrealist petals
of those floury nights, could
Enliven peerless dreams of hua-liang
In green, silken tights; those
Astro-flings with little tea-cups,
Have made the forsythia blush
With fear, fear the rice-cakes
Sank to the bottom
of the scope of yesteryear,
Sempiternal quads of tofu
Signal
