On China’s State-Sponsored Amnesia

A friend posted this on facebook, It reminds me of my poem which was written after one day at friends' party,listening to their chatting of their background in poland.

At the Party

At the Party

Bathed in autumn shine,
our glasses make a clicking sound
as hornets circle the cakes.

All along the newly-painted fence,
Angel Trumpets climb high
as if to spread someone’s legend.
I sink in love's armchair, mute as a scarecrow.

I wonder if Morning Glories in my hometown
now light up the village mist.
But the dry wine, sour and naked,
bites my shallow throat.

My father's sad eyes
and my mother's pale face loom.
Keeping their past within,
they grant me an intact silence.

Frost grows heavy.
Tomatoes in the backyard ready to fall.
