A wonderfully atmospheric jueju, steeped in hushed, gothic unease. The moon behind the eaves and the old floors’ “ghostlike sighs” create an immediate sense of place, while each line deepens the mystery. The final image of night guarding its whispered truths is especially haunting and gives this compact poem a lingering finish.
