As leaves


Gathering my years


The sound of the bronze drum


By a statue of my chau


Are you good enough?


Cat in the window


Speaking to the heart

Dawn


Luc Bat streets


A deep green time


Cricket song


Echoes


Night-blooming cereus

Rain


A pine cone in Pasternak's garden


Row of camphor trees


Saigon rain


Illusive lover


By waves


Small as a doll


The wild rosebud has changed


My plum tree

Yesterday's mother


Skipping stones

The night-blooming cereus and I


Woman wearing black


Friends


The color of Phai Street


January


Poem for the Year of the Buffalo
