Chinatown - a photo on Flickriver

Chinatown

            A laundry line of lanterns--
crimson, crinkled paper 
and here come the shiny
silk dragon dancers; 
wok smoke, opium aroma,
frying duck scent drift out
the crowded door of Golden
Palace kitchen as fireworks 
sizzle upward above pagoda
roofs, as celebrants burn
monopoly money for departed
ancestors, as drums, flutes and 
plucked gourds draw revelers 
who snake along the street
and this goes on to midnight
when it’s dumpling time and
time to light the candles
and time to eat the cookies
with coins baked inside and
someone sings a sad, drunken
song, a woman weeps loudly
and lovers kiss secretly and
elders close their eyes and
pray softly for luck and
wealth and one more year.
