Two poems by Lo Ch'ing 羅青

GOING HOME

Too late
to catch the last bus...

If you must go,
ride your shoes home.

I'll pedal the evening wind
to follow you.

          (tr. Maureen Hurley with Lo Ch'ing 羅青)


CROSSWORD

One jet fighter
a single dove
bisecting the sky
draws
an invisible cross

     (tr. Maureen Hurley with Lo Ch’ing)
