AFTER THE CHINESE MASTERS
AFTER TWO LINES
BY SHAO YUNG
My wine cup glows
red with reflected
flowers and,
yes, to see them
how can I not
go home drunk?
~
AFTER TWO LINES
BY CHAO KU
Where
is the singer
when the song
is done
and the last
note lingers?
~
AFTER A LINE
BY WANG CHUNG
My one success,
too, has been
getting old.
~
AFTER TWO LINES
IN TZU-YEH SONGS #4
Is it the spring
breeze which turns her
mind to love, which
undresses her?
~
SHE THINKS OF 'LET ME GALLOP,
LET ME GO' IN THE SHIH CHING
I, too, walk the slope
picking toad-lilies.
A woman like me
will find her way.
