Sky Pure of Sand
Ma Chih-yüan (1260-1324)
[Dried vines over old tree, evening and the crows / Thin bridge over stream, people and their homes
Way down the old trail—the west gale shakes the horse's ribs / The sun wanes west
Winding down the edge of the endless sky] his torn out heart.
translated by Ken Chen
