Phoenix
By Weichen Ling
A virus, a president’s, sweeping characterization
A mask, a statement, intimidation
A slow and deliberate cough or
Violent words, violent actions
A gun, a man, a spa
Grief, in a moment
Turns to anger, turns to fire
They abrase us to erase us
I insist to exist
Every breath a resist
Brazenly Asian, we persist
More information on supporting Asians in the US in the website under Events.
