The Beauty Poem by Jackie Chou

The Beauty



He's raven-haired,
burgundy-skinned-

the epitome
of the autumn landscape.

He scorches me
with the firelight in his eyes.

His steps heavy as stampedes,
crack the ground under my feet.

He's the soar of swallows,
the flits of butterflies.

He's strawberry-flavored rain,
whose words I drink.

His mouth is a tunnel
leading me to the light.
