Chinese New Year
Chant the world around once more
Hail! Fare thee well, and Hail, again!
In the moon’s light, the
Night sky
Explodes with fire and
Stars, until ash clouds streak and
Eyes shine and voices die with the year.

No one captures the
Exact moment the year is born, lost in
Wonder and ritual.

Yes, the year dies alone,
Echoes of the old consumed
Again in the chant of the crowd,
Raising the year once more.
