      widens, flattens into a slow river

      resolves into a calm lake

      where the mountain melts

      in its pure reflection.

Mountain and cloud

      Mountains so high

      it is impossible to distinguish

      what is mountain, what is cloud.

      In the pavilion

      at the mountain’s foot,

      a lute

      wrapped in brocade

      woven to the sound

      of the lute’s music,

      depicting a scene

      of mountains and cloud,

      and a lute in a pavilion,

      wrapped in brocade.

Wang Meng’s painting “Reading in Spring Mountains”

      A circular stamp above the mountains,

      the Chinese character for moonlight.

      Cursive tree branches tell stories

      of prevailing winds, dry summers, long deep winters.

      The creases of the mountains

      cut tales deep into the memory of the earth.

      Clouds brush themselves into wavering ideograms,

      and dissolve like secret writing hidden in the skies.

A poem Written on “Hall of Clear Mind” Paper

      Paper is the most humble of the Four Treasures: paper, brush, ink, inkstone.

      Slight breeze across the page.

      Not much to say.

      No mountain. No storm.

      Cherish the earth.

      Cherish the paper,

      the trees this is written in

      as wind, invisible ink,

      weaves among branches.

      Nothing much happens.

      Only the effect is visible.

The Emperor Floats

      for Richard Gravel

      The Emperor sits on his throne

      at the centre of his palace.

      Retinues of servants and messengers

      come and go with unrelieved persistence,

      but he is alone, always alone.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
