Three Poems by Cathy Linh Che
Cathy Linh Che - January 25, 2022
Zombie Apocalypse Now: Prologue
On the boat we flee the hordes—
in the rear view,
zombies eat up
the left-behind.
The Americans left
three years prior.
Now tanks roll into the capital.
They raise a new flag.
We are cast into a film
about our own apocalypse.
