Ring Out The "Old Year" Of The Pig, Ring In The "New Year" Of The Rat Poem by Chen-ou Liu
Ring Out The "Old Year" Of The Pig, Ring In The "New Year" Of The Rat
A Tanka set
"doomsday clock
moved to one hundred seconds
to midnight"
I hear the sharp snap
of a rattrap
in the dying hour
of an old year
I feel like a rat
caught between illusion
and biting reality
FYI: "The Doomsday Clock was moved the closest it's ever been to midnight on Jan.23 as atomic scientists warned of increasing threats around nuclear war and climate change..."
