Journey
1.
A crow
makes the bare tree
more lonely
Poetry
uncovers the beauty
of tragedy
My pen
a fallen feather
from an aging eagle
2.
Sometimes
I hear a bigger voice
speaking to me:
Your journey
is a giant Yuan, a circle,
too wide to perceive
The longer the journey lasts
the further you move
from the heart of Yuan
The end is where you set out
The distant mountaintop
nothing but an image
of clouds
