Wandering Bell Mountain by Wang An-shih
Gazing all day into mountains, I can’t get enough of mountains.
Retire into mountains, and mountains become our old masters:
when mountain blossoms scatter away, mountains always remain,
and in empty mountain stream water, mountains deepen idleness.
translated by David Hinton
from Pond in a Bowl by Han Yü
Alright, my pond mirrors sky, azure into azure.
I just pour in a few jars of water, fill it brimful,
then wait. Evening deepens and the moon sets,
and look, swimming down there: all those stars!
translated by David Hinton
on country music
didn’t think
a song
could do that
to me
still
but damn
there it is
the memory
oh
the memory
again
but sometimes: for ARE
one should
rise above
the pettiness
jealousy
vindictiveness
of others
but sometimes
it feels good
to dip
low enough
to knock them
on their asses
on roads
roads go
in two directions
the trick
is turning
right
even if
it’s left
remembering LA: for Maureen
you sauntered
into the house
for dinner
where three
slightly hungover
writers lived
and asked
in that off-handed
manner of yours
who do you
have to fuck
to get a drink
around here
and though I can’t
remember
who cooked dinner
or poured your drink
I do know
how my heart
lights up
remembering
at the end
there is
no escape
never was
your actions
good and bad
await you
at the end
here’s that one day
once
I said
the things
you say
will one day
come back
to haunt
you
