Translated into Chinese by Chen-ou Liu:
she is suspended
between here and gone
a cobweb
catching the light
of this moth-winged life
A Hundred Gourds, 4:1, December 2014
Chen-ou Liu's comments:
Evaluated in the thematic context of this existential angst that manifests in Ls 1&2, the visually striking image in Ls 3-5 adds emotional weight and philosophical depth to the tanka.
Life is a frail moth flying caught in the web of the years that pass. (Sara Teasdale)
