One Man's Maple Moon: Hourglass Tanka by Debbie Strange

English Original

layers
of this blue life
winnowed
by the hourglass
my furrows deepen

Poetry Nook, 5, April 2014

Debbie Strange


Chinese Translation (Traditional)

一層又一層
的這個鬱悶生活
被時間砂漏
所剝除
我的皺紋變深了

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

一层又一层
的这个郁闷生活
被时间砂漏
所剥除
我的皱纹变深了

  1. Debbie's tanka is rich in imagery and emotionally resonant figurative language tinged with existential angst.
