I
Autumn moon above:
his slow shadow is longer
than the road ahead.
II
Snow on his bright blade;
a world that is not his breathes
in and around him.
III
Only the desert
wind and his footprints point to
wards a lost future.
IV
After the distant
thunder, a demon’s laughter.
An eagle takes flight.
V
Seizing machines bow.
Petals fall like flakes of rust.
Spring remembers him.
VI
Even bare, a pine
holds its ground, waiting, waiting
for a warrior.
