Where is China?

In map， news，comments，history …. And my hearts– only，

An intimate，intricate linkage，

Not my country，wrong or right，

Neither homeland nor hometown， place of birth– only ．

There are no such things as free skies ，

Too big to fall，

Too talented to ignore，

Too strapping to defy．

Alienated by narrow Straits，vast Ocean，

A migratory bird flying across…very far，

How the lighthouse sheds spatter of dim lights，

Decades，hundreds years ，Thereafter…．

Rather came to the New Continent，

In pursuit of happiness，

Chirping up openly in sparrow’s nests，

An old crooked Alien ‧ 

                        Classmates

Half a century ago, you and I walked through the way                                 

Now reunited and grey

Clouds moving across the other skies

Wild geese missing their flock never flew back

Search for little spare

Pick up the fragmented, residual pieces

Left in memory a bit familiar

The mortal encounter has already rolled over

Whatever glory or richness has held

 Whatever Joy or grievance has experienced                                                                                                                            

Raise another torn flag

Look!

The sky glows with bright, colorful sunset clouds     

Come!                                                       

My companions reassemble and march out

Thoughtfully

Acknowledging, cherishing, and pitying...
