Six persimmons
surrounded by emptiness
sound and silence commune
as a windsong blown
through the hollow bone
of a bird’s wing
recalls years of weeping
in the embrace of sleep
not much is known
about Mu Qi
he let the sun fall down
so his life might arrive
one breath at a time
until uncertain as sand
ink and paper would beget
a simple shrike above the abyss
