DRINKING ALONE ON A SPRING DAY
THINKING OF J.K.

A soft wind blows down
from the north, peach blossoms hang
over the wall only blue sky
where I lay and watch
the river go by

A poet’s life has some hard times
until we will meet again, somewhere
and get drunk    sing our sorrows away
and from our cups
a thousand poems will fall

5/May/1982
