the 19th tanka in the sequence about diasporic experiences
a Mohawk youth
and an old Canadian
shout at each other...
we're here because we're here
if you must have a reason

Poetic Musings: Sound of Home Tanka by Chen-ou Liu
-
a flock of geese
through the shelter window
a deaf veteran
touches again and again
the sound of home
