Sixteen—I watched you leave on a long journey.

A boat through Qutang Gorge in June must thread

The needle to dodge the underwater rocks

While gibbons tell the far heavens their sorrows.

Traces you left are still in front of the gate;

But now in every footprint green moss grows,

Moss that’s too deep to sweep it all away.

Leaves fall in early winds that blow this autumn.

September’s here; the butterflies are yellow.

Pair by pair they fly above West Garden.

It hurts to watch it all. My heart is aching.
