Piggy
Pie, Oval Moon
Dismounting,
drinking your wine
I ask where you are going.
You say, "I've not met my goals
And return to recline on the slopes of
South Mountain."
Just go. We'll say no more --
White clouds go on without end.
--Li Po
Piggy Pie, oval
moon
Red boat floating backward
By distant lands, grey beyond looming
mountains;
Two travelers rest alone, sacks
lowered:
On hanky spread the pungent madness,
Pear 'n pig.
Oval moon -- biting
teeth
Sharing pie -- two friends
Once mounted here in farewell
Evening quickens;
Too suddenly you are vanished.
Returning to my churning garden
Sucking bone alone.
