Poetry
Elegy for Another’s Wife
Translated by:
Justin Hill
The peach’s complexion
her tender cheeks
wind-blown willow
her delicate brows
into the dragon’s cave
the pearl has fallen
waiting for her reflection
the phoenix stand mirror
Our dreams drip
through cold wet nights
no one wants to listen
these hours of loss
sunset behind the western mountains
moonrise above the east
forever breaking through
our memories of her
