Chard deNiord: The River Merchant’s Mistress, a Letter

Return to her in the mercy of desire

no matter where she waits in Cho Fu Sa.

Find a way to get there as fire

and cloud together in a body

that no longer hungers for me,

but burns the garment you’ve worn

all winter and smells like the bitter

you drank without her.
