A Wink.

A Wink

 The wheel of a unicycle is still turning. The man has gone for a
 drink.
 Maybe he's coming back, maybe he's not.
 A pool of blood suddenly appears on the street. In an open palm
 lying perfectly still
 A fly crawls.
 The wheel of the unicycle is still turning.

 1987

Huang Xiang was born in Hunan Province, China, in 1941. He began writing poetry in the 1950s and has been imprisoned repeatedly for his work. In 1978 he founded "Enlightenment," the first underground writers' society, and started a literary magazine under the same name. In exile in the United States since 1997, he has been a resident poet in Pittsburgh under the PEN Cities of Asylum program for writers and currently lives in New Jersey with his wife and son. Huang's Out of Communist China, a bilingual anthology, was published in 2003, and a new selection of his poems, A Lifetime Is a Promise to Keep, will be published in spring 2008. As a juror for the 2008 Neustadt International Prize for Literature, he nominated Tibetan writer Tsering Woeser for the award.
