Sound of Dripping Water Tanka

after love
our bodies resume
their boundaries...
the sound of dripping water
becomes louder and louder

German Translation by Tony Böhle

nach der Liebe
ziehen sich unsre Körper in
ihre Grenzen zurück…
der Klang tröpfelnden Wassers
wird lauter und lauter

Ripples from a Splash

My book is now available through www.lulu.com [Liu's] haiku resonates the Asian spirit, and makes use of aesthetics in a continuum of time that is permanent and impermanent; the process more important than the subjective specificity of object bias found in most Anglo-Western haiku like poems. His poetry demand to be interpreted by the informed reader. They do not tell all, are not based on an “aha” moment, and have no definitive ending. More importantly they give meaning and voice to the unsaid, the magic inherent in Japanese poetry. -- Poetry Review by Robert D. Wilson, Editor-in-chief of Simply Haiku.
