Seeing Wusong Again for the First Time

Shanghai was really great. I loved being there, it was so comfortable and surprisingly clean, and full of imagined memories.

First Seeing Wusong (In response to Seeing Wusong)


Wusong waters slink along, brown.
Riverbank trees unlike my hometown.
Shanghai fills all the air,
He lived here once, for a decade.
Felt strange across the Pacific Ocean--
People say I've traveled much,
Inside is full and longing.
Why did you come back?
Start down bone-flesh roads.

alternate last two lines:

When will he come back?
Gone up heaven-bound streets.
My view straight across from where I wrote this response.
