"Rainbow Flower" -- Bei Dao (translated by Bonnie S. McDougall)
At the edge of the abyss You guard my every lonely dream -- The rustle of wind through the grass.
The sun in the distance blazes brightly, Standing by the ditch you cast a shadow, Ripples cover the surface, sinking yesterday's time.
Should there come a day when you too must wither, I have just a simple hope: That you may keep the calm of your first flowering.
