Sense Of Distance Poem by Shaojun Li

Sense Of Distance

Rating: 5.0


Spring comes.
Willow catkins fly. Everyone is stirred.

In the rain, a bud cries out loud.
Water splashes on the steps
into bubbles.
In the drizzle, a gracious man neatly dressed
shows his polite distance from this day and time.
