About Me

My photo
I just returned back to the States after 11 years in Taiwan with my daughter. Taiwan is an excellent base for us explore Asia, while living in relative (gun free) safety, while benefiting from a cheap and efficient national health care system. The people are amazing too. I have Taiwanese friendships that are 20 years old and I'm always making new ones! My coworker here in CO is from Taiwan.

Lift the veil

I could deal with the mistreatment from my masters
    their alien disregard
The cruel separation from my childhood friends
    and mountain homeland brothers
I could deal with my daughter's father's abandonment
I can carry the burden of debt
   and disappearing paychecks going nowhere

Catching a breath between the tears
        when all the world is silent
At night forlorn and my true solitary self
A storm raining on the cratered Badlands
In between the space of the music
        your voice murmers, " she is..."

I am at a loss
Anticipating you'll lift away the veil and witness what Ive conceived
          waiting these years, lingering
Wasting precious hope on one
        who thinks me so little
Correlated beside your statuesque prominence
