Background
A description of the experience
(UNTITLED)
A lovely wind, dust already fragrant with fallen blossoms:
it’s sunset, and I can’t even comb my hair.
Things go on and on. People don’t: all our great plans vanish.
Now, if I try to speak, nothing comes but tears.
I hear spring along Twosome Creek is still exquisite, my love,
and I ache to go drifting there in a light boat,
but I’m afraid those frail little Twosome-Creek boats
couldn’t bear up all this grief and sorrow.
