Confucius Said, At Forty I Had No More Doubts

A Haibun for 劉鎮歐


Every day and night, I ask myself what if? Whether things might have been different or better. If anything more could have come of it. But I died four days before my 40th birthday, on a moonless night.

distant sirens...
across the winter sky
a shooting star
