[Newspoetry] MISSING IRIS CHANG

MISSING IRIS CHANG

ENDING ON A CALIFORNIA ROAD?
HER CAREER HAD NOT PLATEAUED?
WHAT HONORS COULD HAVE BEEN BESTOWED?
MAYBE A NOBEL PRIZE IN HER FUTURE GLOWED?
HER POTENTIAL FIRST SHOWED
AS TSIEN'S SILKWORM CHRONICLE BODE.
THE JAPANESE SHE WOULD GOAD
BY BREAKING THE SILENCE OF THE NANKING CODE.
INTO AMERICAN HISTORY FABRIC SHE SEWED
THE CHINESE PEOPLE SO LONG OWED.
AMBROSE'S PRAISE OVERFLOWED.
INTERESTING HISTORY WAS HER MODE.
HAD HER FOURTH BOOK BOWED
INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION ABODE?
WAS THE RESEARCH TOO MUCH OF A LOAD?
WERE OTHER PROBLEMS LONG SINCE SOWED?
MORE THAN A BRILLIANT LITERARY NODE.
HER WORKS WILL NOT BE SLOWED.
THEY WILL NOT ERODE.
WEST REDISCOVERED EAST IN HER LIFE'S ODE!
