100 Days of Poetry: Day 15

Summer Freezes Here by Hsiung Hung (tr. Kenneth Rexroth and Ling Chung)

I am putting you in a painting.

There is a road there like a ribbon,

A long white ribbon stretching

Deep into mists and clouds,

Deep into an embroidered dream,

Twenty miles long,

In a village by the sea.

We can walk there and never tire.

There are icicles where the road

Goes along the edge of the shore.

Summer freezes there.

You are changed into a transparent forest,

Where every single new leaf

Utters a perfumed word.

You know it well,

This land of my white polar heart,

A road twenty miles long harvests your footsteps.

One white flower.

One white flower.

One white flower.

"I was bleeding with a September kind of longing; the type of longing that is both patient and unconditional."
