Library Walk: Gu Cheng, "Forever Parted: Graveyard"

NOW, ON MY HEART'S PAGE THERE IS NO GRID TO GUIDE MY HAND, NO CHARACTER TO TRACE, ONLY THE MOISTURE, THE INK BLUE DEW THAT HAS DRIPPED FROM THE LEAVES. TO SPREAD IT I CAN'T USE A PEN, I CAN'T USE...

NOW, ON MY HEART'S PAGE
THERE IS NO GRID TO GUIDE MY HAND,
NO CHARACTER TO TRACE,
ONLY THE MOISTURE,
THE INK BLUE DEW THAT HAS DRIPPED FROM
THE LEAVES.
TO SPREAD IT I
CAN'T USE A PEN,
I CAN'T USE A WRITING BRUSH,
CAN ONLY USE MY LIFE'S
GENTLEST BREATH
TO MAKE A SINGLE LINE OF MARKS WORTH PUZZLING OVER.
-GU CHENG (1956-), "FOREVER PARTED: GRAVEYARD"
