Sakura Hotel in February
looking out our 13th floor window
see Kunming shining to the misty hills
rooftops speckled with solar panels
dusty cactus in pots on window sills
glittery glass buildings
wet black bitumen ribbons
Dong Feng Dong Lu
advertising signs six storeys high
white chalk characters on pavement slabs
before broken beggars
thin bent woman balancing a pole of
two bamboo baskets of bright red strawberries
as the book-keeper balances his books
Cathay yesterday
People’s Republic of China today
tomorrow …
