THE WELL
--
To Chung Ru, my younger brother
Nothing is left behind
You said, "There is nothing left behind
after the great calamity
but the mute well."
As I step forward like in
my childhood
Walking onward
After Mother washed my feet
Unexpectedly
the well greet me
just by unbosoming
its pent-up
cold
As I pace on
I come to see a forlorn form
and find myself
turning to be a vase containing tears
from my sufferings
(Translated by Sung
Kuang-Ten)
