Yang Chu's Poems # 318


YANG CHU‘S POEMS #318


On an autumn red-spotted leaf autumn
In Mount Hakusan chilly forest far

Away from people I recited aloud
My poems about

About the transport of the transient,
How the concept of permanence is a lie.

I heard the bright green tip
Of new emanated pine needle applaud.

Felt the pine needle’s lips kiss my cheek,
Knew I had not written in vain.
