Silkworm Thicket and Fishing Duck Drinking, we shared our e~joyment together, Founded that nation -- somewhere when -- Drunk each went off on hJS own. But forty-eight thousand years have run, But fo~ver agreed on dispassionate revels, And smoke from homes of settlers does not reach the frontier of Ch'in. We promised to meet in the far Milky Way. There used to be a bird road from the western slope of T'ai-Po by Barbara Mellen That one might travel straight across to 0-mai's peaks and spires, But the earth collapsed, the mountain split, the muscled warriors died, And only then the ladders to heaven were hooked together by stone and timber. Up above is the towering beacon where the six dragons turn the sun; Down below on the twisted river colliding waves explode on the turns. THE BAllAD OF LONG BANK The trip would even be too much for the wings of a yellow crane; Gibbons and monkeys hoping to cross climb and tug in despair. When my hair was first in bangs, I used to pick flowers and tease from the door. Green Mud Summit, tortured, twisting, With nine turns to a hundred steps, you thread the jutting crags. And you would ride on a bamboo horse, Grasp the Triad, pass the Well Stars, look up and heave a sigh, Circling the well-shed and throwing green plwns. Press your hand against your chest, sit down to gasp and moan. We lived together in the Village of Long Bank, Two little children, no doubts or mistrust. I wonder, as you travel west, when will you return? At fourteen, I became your wife. I fear a road so harsh and high is impossible to climb. My bashful face could never smile. All I see is a sorrowing bird that cries from an ancient tree, I would droop my head and face the dark wall And the cocks fly in pursuit of hens, circling ~~h the fore~. And not once turn for your thousand calls. Yet again I hear the cuckoo call in the moonl1t rught, sorrowmg At last, fifteen, I tmfurrowcd my brow, over the desolate mountain. And vowed to stay with you like ashes with dust. The road to Shu is hard, harder than climbing blue sky. If you cling to your promise like a man in a flood Letting a man just hear of this wilts his youth away. Would I ever be climbing the Widow's Watchtower? I was sixteen when you went away The peaks rise in unbroken rows short of the sky by less _than a foot, To Rough River Rock in Threatening Gorge. The withered pines hang upside-down, supported by vertical walls. In the Fifth Month there is no nmning through, And the cries of monkeys arc sad in the sky. The flying chutes and tyrannous current clash and sna~l like swine, The tracks by the gate where you slowly departed, Pounding the cliffs and spinning the stones to thunder m In each one now the green moss grows. ten thousand ravines. The perils, they are really so . The moss is deep and will not sweep away; And woe to the man so far from home, why should he come this way! Autumn wind is early, there are falling leave~. The Swoni Gallery looms above with its storeyed crags and spires. In the Eighth Month the butterflies came One man at the pass, And flew in pairs through the west garden flowers. Ten thousand cannot break through. When I think of this, my heart starts breaking, And if the guards are not our people, I sit and grieve. My face grows old. They can change into jackals and wolves. Whenever you are ready to come back from the west, In the morning avoid fierce tigers. First send a letter to let us all know. At night avoid long snakes.
