\n 
\nmother
\ni thought your death
\neasy
\nyour voice rising
\nlike unmolested bamboo
\n18 centimeters a day
\ntowards a friday god
\neager to pluck you
\nfor his september buffet
\n 
\n 
\nand though you protested
\nthrough the log of lungs
\nthe brick of ribs
\nthat the wooden tips of your fingers
\nwould not burn
\nwithin an autumn night
\nyou were so gentle
\nin your surrender
\nthat your cries
\nwould not disturb
\na sleeping buddha
\n 
\n 
\nand here
\ni tremble
\nthat i will lack your grace
\nmy last hour
\ngritted and gnarled
\nrobed in rage and stinking
\nof sour lament
\nyet again
\nunworthy of being called
\nyour daughter
\n 
\n 
\no guanyin pusa:
\n 
\n 
\nembrace me
\nwith your thousand arms
\nand pour your porcelain mercy
\nover me
\n 
\n 
\nmay my end be of
\nher same lattice of pearls
\nwhite callouses of courage
\nrattling within the heart of a lotus
\nthe saga of my final sigh rising
\npast the calm incense of our tongue
\nthe cool smoke of teeth
\nuntil it is sweeter
\nthan the echo of honey
\non the breath of
\na hummingbird <\/strong>

\nDarcy was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1975, E. Darcy Trie is a Scorpio, Rabbit and matriculated in Little Rock, Arkansas at the age of two. She graduated at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville with a B.A. in Psychology along with Minors in Drama and Asian Studies. Sensing that achieving her Masters would drive her to drink, she wisely opted to tour Asia in her early twenties (thanks to a grant provided by Bank Of Daddy), and in the year 2000, found herself in the heart of Beijing, China where she began writing due to the fact that crocheting was far too complicated and because the voices in her head would not shut up.<\/strong>
\n 
\nBy 2004, she had completed two romances, one historical and one modern, and after viewing all nine seasons of the X-Files and three seasons of C.S.I, finished the first two series of the Snow novels and is currently writing the third installment. During this time, she has also had several pieces of her poetry published in various online poetry magazines.<\/strong>
\n 
\nHer passions and hobbies includes writing, reading (anything put out by Neil Gaiman), Disney movies, all divination tools such as Tarot, I-Ching, Runes and is an enthusiastic, although albeit amateur, astrologist\/paranormal investigator. She is 5\u201910, weighs whatever she wrote on her driver\u2019s license, owns a lot of black hoodies and is addicted to It\u2019s A Grind\u2019s Passion Fruit tea.<\/strong>
\n 
\nShe is fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese, some French and once took a Zero Hour in Greek in high school. She hates mornings, coconuts, wire bras, and sincerely hopes that this is bio is long enough to fill up an entire page (doubled-space of course).<\/strong>
\n 
\nMs. Trie currently lives in Las Vegas, NV because she adores $2.99 buffets, Paigow Poker, and that lovely 116 degree August weather. She dreams of writing best-selling novels that will delight and thrill her future fans and because she is tired of being a productive citizen and wants to go back to being a mooching hermit.<\/strong>
