One retreat after another without peace.
LI PO thread
Since there seems very little out there i've discovered - or maybe because i'm bored tonight, or after a certain cache, or just plain DRUNK -
I thought i'd instigate a thread dedicated to our most illusive of contemporaries, Li Po (Li Bai, in cantonese), and pull (pool?) "our" resources...
you might even call this, rather than a thread, a forum within a forum: Li Po on a cherry blossom sailing down the yangtze river of bukowski.net...ha.
IN THE MOUNTAINS:
A REPLY TO THE VULGAR
They ask me where's the sense
on jasper mountain?
I laugh and don't reply,
in heart's own quiet:
Peach petals float their streams
away in secret
To other skies and earths
than those of mortals.
indeed...
