Take a walk through the night of shades
when lights are off and characters are on
you enjoy the ruins of modern culture
taking shape along the path to the beach
Crossing dark wetness alternating dry sand
keep on talking through the hours
of night that sets you free of sorrows
of practicalities beyond moon’s concern
And returning next day shapes turn out to be ships
junks and cargo crossing the Beibu Gulf of Tonkin
along a beach line of futurist and classical edifices
awaiting a finishing touch by tourist presence
Chinese unfinishedness and infinity meet you there
when you are dusty of life’s adventure and memoirs.
