Feng Feng
FREEDOM

How many snowy
springs has it been?
He walks out
through the iron gate of the temporary compound,
the janitor’s house behind him,
so many eyes stretching outside.
He has a bellyfull of words
that he wants to dump now
but he only says to Officer Yang,
I have served out my time.
He straightens his back,
as if compared to Officer Yang,
they let him go early.
