Selected Tanka: Yellow Leaf Tanka

go back
to where you came from ...
a yellow leaf
tossing and turning
with each gust of wind

Chinese Translation

你從哪裡來
就滾回哪裡去 ...
一片黃色葉子
在每一陣風吹來吹去中
不停地翻轉和滾動

Eviction Tanka

gathering dark
after the eviction
a whitewashed room
and four nail holes
in the wall, in my heart

Chinese Translation

驅逐搬遷後
天色漸黑
粉刷乾淨的房間內
有四個釘孔
在牆上,在我心裡
