[Poem] the Indian Evening (Hai Zi)

the Indian Evening 

on the ferry road to the west secretly embarked the moon
the Ganges River, Buddha cave crammed with somebody else's teeth

stars and beads
a purple string between heaven and earth, a true string

eight feet high the blackness flourished
fiercely the gale howling

city, the little thing emerged only recently
like dessert that loves to consume plants and fishes

troops of crows under the moon
the self-conceited brides in black wedding frock

no one made them proposal
so they combed their own hair in raucous calls

the old man asleep in the storehouse
his shadow wandering on the hand palm, shadow is labor

facing the wall, facing the wall, there appeared the meditator himself
pleading the eternal beauty of wheat flowers
