ON HSIN-P’ING TOWER

On this tower as I leave our homeland,

late autumn wounds thoughts of return,

and heaven long, a setting sun far off,

this cold clear river keeps flowing away.

Chinese clouds rise from mountain forests;

Mongol geese on sandbars take flight.

A million miles azure pure— the eye

reaches beyond what ruins our lives.

WATCHING A WHITE FALCON SET LOOSE

High in September’s frontier winds, white

brocade feathers, the Mongol falcon flies

alone, a flake of snow, a hundred miles

some fleeting speck of autumn in its eyes.
