After Li Po's Bright Moon, White Clouds



Gazing down again to find the path 
I’d come, I found, finally, 
only a chill darkness…
But you met me just there,
and led me home…
                                                    Li Po

                moon—

won’t you share a drop
of tea with me?
I’ve been gifted
these brilliant
cups…

roses and china
a thin porcelain
of bone

they wait for your face
as on the surfaces
of falling
rain

unveil your cloud

there is enough
for all of us
