New Year

By Bei Dao Translated by David Hinton

A child carrying flowers walks toward the new year

a conductor tattooing darkness

listens to the shortest pause

hurry a lion into the cage of music

hurry stone to masquerade as a recluse

moving in parallel nights

who's the visitor? when the days all

tip from nests and fly down roads

the book of failure grows boundless and deep

each and every moment's a shortcut

I follow it through the meaning of the East

returning home, closing death's door

Facing Wine by Li Po

[unjustlyunread]

(the) two types of poet:

those who forget and those who keep re-membering.

for instance, Tu Fu's crows:

in his later poems:

("my old friends")

in his last poems:

an endnote:

("Li Po died as the legend says he died: out drunk in a boat, he fell into a river and drowned trying to embrace the moon.")
