POET OF THE WEEK
Yuan Yin
Week of February 5
你是一条向北的鱼
我是无可奈何向南的水
可以触碰你 不能包裹你
你是一条向北的鱼
我是无可奈何向南的水
可以触碰你 不能包裹你
You are a fish swimming towards the north
I am the stream on a destined course to the south
Caressing you yet missing you
WRITING LIKE WATER It seems to dry up easily like it’s going to die. But it won’t—it still flows until it finds the big ocean.
EARLY WATER MEMORY When I was washing myself in a bucket when I was 5, I jumped out and kicked the bucket away.
FAVORITE LOCAL WATER The fountain at University of Washington.
