Poem "i admire this sheep" by Teresa Mei Chuc
i admire this sheep
its intestines wound
up, catgut
i am thinking of
mozart’s symphonies
beethoven
bach
papa john creach
don “sugarcane” harris
violinists playing
on this string, organ
stripped and twisted
once in the stomach
of a sheep
warm and surrounded
by the pumping
of blood
and the beautiful
music it makes
i am thinking of
my body
what part
could make
such sounds
my heart
perhaps
the way it
beats on a
page
my leg bones
for drumming
my hair
what sound
could my hair
make?
not strong enough
to be strung
on a bow
By Teresa Mei Chuc
"Cockroaches" by Teresa Mei Chuc (audio)
This poem is based on a true story of Teresa and her brother after the American war in Vietnam.
COCKROACHES
A proposal by someone to my mom
after the Vietnam war: Why don’t
you sell your baby, you don’t have
anything to eat?
A response by my four-year-old brother:
No, don’t sell my sister! There are lots
of cockroaches for us to eat!
When I returned to the country
eighteen years later, I saw them--
large, brown shiny tanks on the wall,
evidence of my brother’s love for me.
