Ghostly Genius
gone beyond borderlands
river-moments
dsrk tombs
confusions of firefly flicker
and the ocean’s vast clarity
a mere cup of spilled water
A poem made entirely from last lines
of Chinese poet Li-Ho (790-816)

What a dreamy, glorious poem. What an imaginative idea to use just the last lines. I’m going to have to check out this poet. Thanks for the nudge to examine poets of other times and nationalities. So many poets, so little time!
