  What She Said

Jasmine stinks thick tonight.

The thin tongues of deer lap

through tiny rain-ploughed rivers.

Why does the sparrow sleep

inside the forest

and still say nothing?

What He Said

I am the last to speak,

but when I do, I mean

to bury my face in hers,

to hear her hair waterfall around me,

to gather sad honey around the soft pools at her neck.

~Choonwha Moon
