Written in Behalf of My Wife
by |

“Since water still flows, though we cut it with swords
And sorrow returns, though we drown it with wine,
Since the world can in no way answer to out craving, I will loosen my hair tomorrow and take to a fishing boat.”

“Facing Wine
Never refuse wine. I'm telling you,
people come smiling in spring winds:
peach and plum like old friends, their
open blossoms scattering toward me,
singing orioles in jade-green trees,
and moonlight probing gold winejars.
Yesterday we were flush with youth,
and today, white hair's an onslaught.
Bramble's overgrown Shih-hu Temple,
and deer roam Ku-su Terrace ruins:
it's always been like this, yellow dust
choking even imperial gates closed
in the end. If you don't drink wine,
where are those ancient people now?”
