Wang Wei (699-761)

Wheel-Rim River
 
 
1 Elder-Cliff Cove
 
At the mouth of Elder-Cliff, a rebuilt house
among old trees, broken remnants of willow.
 
Those to come: who will they be, their grief
over someone's long-ago life here empty.
 
 
5 Deer Park
 
No one seen. Among empty mountains,
hints of driftng voice, faint, no more.
 
Entering these deep woods, late sunlight
flares on green moss again, and rises.
 
 
6 Magnolia Park
 
Autumn mountains gathering last light,
one bird follows another in flight away.
 
Shifting kingfisher-greens flash radiant
scatters. Evening mists: nowhere they are.
