Thinking Of Li Po Under A Moonlit Night Poem by Chen-ou Liu
Thinking Of Li Po Under A Moonlit Night
for Li Po (also known as Li Bai,701-762) who is known for his poem, 'Drinking Alone by Moonlight' and called the God of Poetry, but who only called himself the god of wine.
Bending my mind,
I dig all my English words
out of a moonlit night -
a Chinese coolie laboring
in a foreign mine.
Gazing at the moon,
I think of Li Po
and drink a full cup...
This winter has come
to me and me alone.
