Líjiāng Reflections (Li River Reflections)

5 February 2019, Yángshuò


平静的漓江里 [Píngjìng de Líjiāng lǐ]
有两座山: [yǒu liǎng zuò shān:]
In the calm Li River
two mountains


On the bank
a foreigner
beams photographs home


A lone swimmer makes one broad ripple


The foreigner writes a line
then has to go


平静的漓江里
有两座山
