20 HAI - KU ON EMILY DICKINSON

Timid as a bird.
My lips just hold the name:
Immortality

An evening sky:
The woods were painted
the mystic green

The web of life
Time’s sublimest target
You and I tonight

“Time is over”
The vulture screamed
At the setting sun.

Miles and miles
East of eternity
The largest fire

Long silent hours…
I chose this single star
The door of God

After great pain
Embarrassed –not afraid
I wear my wings

A report of land
Where the angels are:
Immortality

Only a breeze,
A caper in the trees:
Not tell its name

Not tell its name
You and I and the secret:
Immortality

At the full dew,
just as the dawn was red:
an aged bee

Their pretty lips
- The least push of joy-
thorn in my side

There is a pain:
His dateless dynasty
The former love

We came at flesh:
Eternity and time
frost upon the glass

Coin in the sand
My little craft was lost
I remember not

You and I tonight:
Starring at the mocking sky
the test of love

This is the place!
The only one way
Illocality

The way of dusk:
The begging for the life
A little madness

Their pretty lips…
Memory like melody.
The old desire

Dirks of melody
Old grounds of memory
Unsuspected things
