You don’t need to breathe.
Quick! Pass through Dead Meat Market.
You’ll reach Long Life Road.

Neighbors play ping pong.
Back and forth walk grouchy men
smoking cigarettes.
With Shiva in China 8
Investment bankers
and trash collectors drink tea.
Monsoon winds slam dance.
With Shiva in China 7
Earthquake shakes Yunnan.
Tourists and children are dead.
Shiva keeps silent.
With Shiva in China 6
Workers chop trees now.
One bird cries in the courtyard.
Shiva keeps silent.
With Shiva in China 5
A serpent and bird
meet at the golden teahouse.
How may we serve You?

Chinese Massage Haiku
The blind masseuse
has strength of a thousand men
who think they can see.
