One Man's Maple Moon: Autumn Hill Tanka by Larry Kimmel

English Original

waiting for your call
unable to make sense
of the book I'm reading
I gaze at the faded tapestry
of an autumn hill

Lynx, 14:3, Autumn 1999

等候你的來電時
無法理解我正在讀
的這本書精意
凝視那一片山丘
褪色的秋天景色

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

等候你的来电时
无法理解我正在读

凝视那一片山丘
