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.
