Smoke

A person in the wind,
In his chaotic formation
Listens to thousands of voices rising
From lifelessness,
And a few short
Dying breaths,
Experiencing how

A calligraphic brush
Soaks up, and quickly
Empties out brandishing,  
Bringing out rivers and mountains
In cursive, or regular scripts, 
And Life, like a wildfire
Or like veins submerged
In a land with overbearing colours.
Finally stars
Reveal petals of peach flowers
In the dome of splash ink.
Love

So wide,
Yet thin, yet vivid and juicy
Yet dry, yet leaves behind
Patch after patch of
Emptiness,
Allowing wind

To blow the hollows loud,
Just like a barbarous flute
Blowing the void of the arch
Of a frontiers’  fort loud.      
Westward

Lies the vastness of a hunt field.
Shadows cast by the sunset
Scurry like broken preys,
While the person in the wind
Remains 

A lonely strain of
Smoke
