Read the excerpt from "Missing in Action" by Thanhha
Lai.
This day
Mother prepares an altar
to chant for his return,
offering fruit,
incense,
tuberoses,
and glutinous rice.
She displays his portrait
taken during Tết
the year he disappeared.
How peaceful he looks,
smiling,
peacock tails
at the corners
of his eyes.
Each of us bows and wishes
And hopes
And prays.
