Deep lane, poor families; I have few friends.
He stayed behind only in my dream.
Fragrant silk scents the breeze: whose party?
A song comes carried in the wind: from where?
Drums in the street wake me at dawn.
In the courtyard, magpies mourn a spoiled spring.
How do we get the life we want?
I am a loosed boat floating a thousand miles.
translated by Geoffrey Waters
Those who stay behind only in dreams!
She had reversals of fortune in her life which was short and ended tragically. So I imagine dreams were a necessary escape.
These are fall thoughts 🍂
Yes, and with the anticipation of winter.
