Seneca Lake, morning after the memorial.


Seneca Lake, the evening of the memorial service.


In this place / no family no friends / the emperor no longer looks back / his court all eastward bound / i remain / with the fields and the mountain and the / bright clear river / under long clouds with small trees / together we celebrate the chyrsanthemum festival / while my friends await me / at the luyong gate

as the sun's waning light / hits the remains of the shower / birds fly home / through the evening mist


on the lake as i turn my head / white clouds enfold the blue mountains


old friends are no longer here / han river still flows east / where is the old man xiang-yang / his village forsaken / only the mountains and river remain


birds in flight in an open sky / autumn colors returning to the mts / up and down up and down hua zi gang / year after year hill after hill / desolate journeys without end.
