Yuyi Chen
Summer 2025 | Poetry
a goose after
noon sleeps his
parents steady
inevitable 6 pm:
under the right
light he looks
fine and not
withering
victoria’s secret
knifes moon
midair fire
celebrates
winter syllabi
in heat
some dinners
ceased yet
new year begins
a massacre
mine? mine
on the way
here still
serpenting a
geese afternoon
