Autumn Song

Leaf 153 – Reflections

 



Although only in my early twenties at the time, this is one of a series of poems which I wrote reflecting on loneliness and old age (see also, Leaf 154 –  posted tomorrow).

 

 

Autumn song:

in the kitchen, one bowl

– the lonely sound of chopsticks.

 

 


 

This poem was originally published in moving into breath, edited by ai li (2002).
