IN THE CENTER OF HONG KONG I READ TU FU IN CHEUNG KONG PARK AND WRITE A FEW LINES





Water flows over stone terraces;
through man-made pools.
Waterfalls soften the sound of traffic
on the Queen’s Road down the hill.
A savior breeze flows uphill;
cools me on this humid day—
a gift from the gods at Man Mo Temple
where I lit incense and prayed.
I could say this is a beautiful place
if only you were here.
