A Vehicle for My Feelings [first of two poems]
Zhu Shuzhen
Pale moon, sparse clouds, the sky in the ninth month.
Reckless leaves drunk with frost fall into the chill river.
Alone by the window, I pass a day of boredom and lethargy,
Editing my poems and songs, experimenting with words erased and changed.
(Sophie Volpp 譯)
