I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

the Moon Festival 2006

春江潮水连海平,海上明月共潮生。
滟滟随波千万里,何处春江无月明。
江流宛转绕芳甸,月照花林皆似霰。
空里流光不觉飞,汀上白沙看不见。
江天一色无纤尘,皎皎空中孤月轮。
江畔何人初见月,江月何年初照人。
人生代代无穷矣,江月年年只相似。
不知江月待何人,但见长江送流水。
白云一片去悠悠,青枫浦上不胜愁。
谁家今夜扁舟子,何处相思明月楼。
可怜楼上月徘徊,应照离人妆镜台。
玉户帘中卷不去,捣衣砧上复还来。
此时相望不相闻,愿逐月华流照君。
鸿燕长飞光不渡,鱼龙潜跃水成纹。
昨夜闲潭梦落花,可怜春半不还家。
江水流春去欲尽,江潭落月复西斜。
斜月沉沉藏海雾,碣石潇湘无限路。
不知乘月几人归,落月摇情满江树。
