One Man's Maple Moon: Numbers and Poetry Tanka by Marian Olson

English Original

in a world
that baffles us both
we travel side by side
he with his numbers
I with my poetry

The Right Touch of Sun, 2017

Marian Olson


Chinese Translation (Traditional)

住在一個讓我們倆人
都感到困惑的世界裡
我們肩並肩遊歷
他解讀他的數字
我吟詠我的詩歌

Chinese Translation (Simplified)

住在一个让我们俩人
都感到困惑的世界里
我们肩并肩游历
他解读他的数字
我吟咏我的诗歌
