I’m sick of talking to the wind.

I’d rather risk exiling language,

To bear mugwort’s hot insults,

To bear pervasive sandstorms,

To bury the roots of plants,

And their soundless veins.

Let’s keep our meditation

Forget negotiation with the earth

Losing the foot of language

Winter scenery with the remaining dead leaves

Border towns and wilderness were first arrived

The day-to-day show is still

Existence and Disappearance
