Day 4, Poet 4: Jasmine An

4/5/2017

 
Picture

Monkey Is Unrepentant And So Am I
 
I am underneath
the mountain with you,
Sun Wukong.
Buddha's ring finger on my chest,
his thumb on yours.
We can be proud together
that the world was enough
afraid of our noise
that it put its giant palm
over our mouths
and froze that way.

Previously published at Pittsburgh Poetry Review.
