Personal Loss

'I prefer intimate pathos.
Not easy.

I don't live
in night.

Yellow words
on green thoughts.'
thank you, Guru!
these lines remind me
of Li Bai's: 'Hard is the Journey'
(I lay my chopsticks down,
no more can banquet,
I draw my sword and stare
wildly about me:
Ice bars my way to cross
the Yellow River,
Snows from dark skies to climb
the T'ai-hang mountains!
At peace I drop a hook
into a brooklet,
At once I'm in a boat
but sailing sunward...)
