after Li Po
I lift up my wine cup to invite the bright moon
With my shadow beside me we have a party of three
Li Po
I live with the moon and the night sky
where I’m happy with my shadow
and the note of the city noise hums to me
like a voice from another room
I want this promise that’s never fulfilled
this moment
still rich and innocent
round and clear like the moon
lighting the world
the yellow sunshine
velvety, shining
the blue on your hair
the gloss of our skin
the touch the touch
so happy
like splashing water
and the light
sparkling and blinding
