【The Oaks at Salem】
By Tian Yu Zhi
We've gotten used to masks, zoom meetings
Canceled plans, trips, graduation parties
Home cooked meals, and TV's daily bad news
But today, I took out that floral qipao dress
A pair of glittering high heeled shoes
Flew to Salem, North Carolina, the Oaks
The roses in the north are about to wither
The blossom season of southern roses just begins
Roses will bloom, in time, even in a world full of viruses
The sky bestows ocean wave blue, the clouds hover sheep suet white
The lovers'walk in the sunset towards the altar
Could have happened ten years back
The vows, the kisses, the dance
The sparkles in the eyes, and the teardrops on the face
Sweet love, I was in your arms
