tea leaf

Jan 31 ... year unknown

beggars, street filled
with thought of wishes
among the year of the
blink chicken

superstitious smells
of three names burnt
yellow ocher incenses

dates written on decorative papers
made for the immortal skies

the old ladies only explained in tongues

"pick only the red ones,
place them in water, and
wipe facial expression clear."
