Four Poems

by Suchoon Mo

Awakening

a cat barks
a mouse farts

the sound of awakening

in silence
the buddha meditates

Sin

whenever she sings
she omits "g"
she sins

d

ever since she met david and married him
she has been stuttering at d

d-d-d-david
d-d-d-damn you!

d-d-d-
d-d-d-

Duet

together two women sing
one sings a serenade
the other sings an elegy
they sing a same song
they sing a requiem
