from Tune: “Immortal at the River” by Su Tung-p’o

I long regret I can’t master my own body,
Much less come to terms with worldly problems.
Night advances, quiet breeze quivers on ripples.
How I wish to sail away in my little skiff
And high on the waters, live out the rest of my life.

translated by Michael E. Workman
