Yuan Changming
The Unspeakable Spoken out
for Qi Hong
After a deep deep breath
Out of the back back yard
Of my heart, I blow each &
Every filament of thought of you
(Not unlike Li Shangyin's silk worm)
Stained with my spiritrons high
& higher up into the mid-
Summer wind
In which to dance
The wildest dance, to the freest tune of
The blue sky, as it sweeps over an
Entire forest without leaving
A single fragment of shadow
Who knows it will reach you in the heart of
Your world, embracing you fully in the most
Tender moment of night, caressing your whole
Being inside out with its finest numerous
Fingers. All invisible, all un-hearable
