Chasm, What Chasm?<\/h1>\n

by Andrew Kuo<\/p>\n

Constant
\nbeyond time and space
\nforget Byron, Wordsworth.<\/p>\n

No, I\u2019ll measure the gap
\nthe distance: 2854 miles
\nthe time: 18 years<\/p>\n

tell you that
\n\u201cWhat happened?\u201d
\nwas trapped and<\/p>\n

released into the
\noceanic void
\ntitanic nothing:<\/p>\n

Time is meaningless
\ngilded places
\nonly markers<\/p>\n

for the ebb and flow
\nof our affections.<\/p>\n

\nAndrew Kuo works at a library in Northern California. He is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College.<\/p>\n

In his words: I work in a community college library in Northern California. I love my job! It’s more than a day job: Students are great and so are staff, and my work is rewarding. At night, and during summer and winter breaks, I write as much as I can. I’m following my college path at Sarah Lawrence College to continue writing. Previously, I’ve been published in two online literary magazines. My poems deal with a variety of subjects, including family, work, memory, time, death and love–some of the parts and pieces that knit together what we consider reality.<\/p>\n

Tercets can be my best friends, but I also enjoy writing pantoums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
