Line Gauthier Poet Jueju

Notes About The Poem

qijue (7 syllables)

Junkyard Moon

Bygone youth carelessly spent
Damaged goods years of torment
Guiltless heart cruelly scarred
Abandoned in junkyard charred

Spent days wasted nights crying
Torment focused on dying
Scarred and marred deep to the bone
Charred wishes on a moonstone
