The shade extended my fellow villagers’ strolling;
Countless summer nights...

but he never had that much luck
taking bulls on eight-second rides.

Where I cannot compose a poem in reply to Dongpo’s Prelude to Water Melody

And the train was like a long snake,

Traps unaware

What could happen
If stepped into unknowingly

cobwebs cleared, Blue-teal rug vacuumed -
prepare for our...

On the heads of trees they stepped.
