lost in 1645 in Yangzhou, in Jiading
the heads of the Han people had still received
no apology from the last Qing emperor by 1911
the night sky took
the
sunset
up
into
bed
black is this instant
the
only
sound
remaining
the stars too
have
covered
their
eyes
left to the wind
rain
beats
down
not
yet
here
daybreak
its
wide
gates
took
the sunset
up
into
bed
this
instant
the only
sound
remaining
too
have covered
their
eyes
the
wind
rain beats down
not
yet
here
its wide
gates
sunset
up into bed
only
sound remaining
have
covered
their eyes
rain
beats
down
not yet here
gates
the gunshots ringing across Taiwan in 1947
were still haunted by nightmares
in the spring of 1989
