Teardrop at the Columbia Icefields - Tian Yongchang / 田永昌
Do you see / The blue lake at the ice field in the front / Where snowy mountains stand still upside down / Where snowy cedar trees stand still upside down /
Tres Orillas
The Starry Sky - Huang Lihai / 黄礼孩
The clarinet of autumn / ever more complex / Pauses and bridges bring / angels, Satan alike / into a dream /
Unnamed Town - Chen Dong Dong / 陈东东
The bend here in the river / has made it what it is / and even more so / the crudeness of the cement railings on both banks /
Returning Home - Miao Kegou / 缪克构
Lightning flashes，illuminating the path. / Thunder rumbles, traveling inland from the distant sea. / A night of heavy rain washes over a village steeped in salt. /
Nobody Told Me - Jidi Majia / 吉狄马加
Like mine, but he had only a long spoon with him. / Biashylazzi didn’t tell me / If lavish entertainments also await me / Along the road for sending off souls. /
The Rain Says - Zheng Chou Yu / 郑愁予
(The rain says, April has waited on the earth for a long while......) / The rice paddies and pastures have waited long enough. / So have fish ponds and running brooks. / When the fields are frozen all winter, imprisoning the seeds, / The pastures wither brown, tracks of cows and sheep vanish. /
Stare - Zhang Ye / 张 烨
I go towards you smiling / Happy in your stare / Apprehensive in my happiness / Like a calm sea / Imagining a storm swelling /
