CHINESE POETRY

Liu Yu-xi


Stones of the City

Retranslated by Professor Gloom

Green Mountains
Surrounding the circle stones;
Mist Mountains.

River Tide,
Splashes on forgotten homes;
Lonely Tide.

Eastern Moon,
Reflects off the Chesapeake,
Rising moon.

Deep in Night,
Moonlight highlights spiral keeps;
Dark as Night.
