Translated into Chinese by Chen-ou Liu:
antelope
grazing on sagebrush
at first light
the horizon stitched
to an infinitude of sky
A Hundred Gourds, 5:1, September 2015
Chen-ou Liu's Comments:
Enhanced by the cinematic "zoom-out" technique, the visually and emotionally evocative juxtaposition of antelope/grazing on sagebrush and the horizon stitched/to an infinit[e] sky makes this wildlife tanka effective.
