Áshe,

***
 

No use to say

Wendy Chen
 

that I was born here

in a small red house

on the Connecticut River.

In the winter, we’d walk

by its strip of Listerine

blue ice,

knowing spring

would turn our print

to water,

and water

to New England clay.

No.  I am not

American.

For you, I am

brom no country

but the East,

my body fragrant

as star anise.
