Hanshan

Eagerly they taught me

how to fight today

in order to be enlisted

in the wars of tomorrow

I have stood on every hillock

sensing, it's not here either

idle was Hanshan by a mountain crag

examining the clouds as the days passed by

the bright moon at night was a book of songs

and chilly was the wind

but always there

the one who sits on the lap of the wind

writes his poems on stones and trees
