A Poem for Grandmother

This is dedicated to my beloved grandmother who made my life complete.

Damned guerrilla

Did you ever

Have mercy on

The Khmer people,

Or did you always

Have a black heart

Even from your birth?

April seventeen

Seventy-five

You said,

“Liberate the Khmer

From the hell

Of Lon Nol

And liberate

Us from the light.”

Black shadow of

Yothear troops

Excitedly

With AK Forty-sevens

You bravely walked

The streets.

Strutting with

Tire sandals

Among the bereft

Shouting “Re-

Education!”

Into joyless,

Hopeless ears.
