Taiwan, November

under the bridge, a heron
in the air, the bats

by themselves, the lovers
in the earth, soldiers

about the ponds, mosquitoes
on the grass, a dog

in the sea, subtropic islands
left behind, my home

curtains in the trees, thick roots
from the school, the young

in all the windows, Chinese
falling, autumn dusk

in my heart, a startling peace
by my side, no one
