sleek white egret launches itself

sleek white egret launches itself 
from the rock it chose
 round which no fish run
why stay?
rise up o'er the Han. 
move where you may go.
feel no pain and never care.
know your home.
know your acquantances,
but not their names.
live in the moment
but remember the river
where you have hunted,
and drunk fresh water.
well, what do you know?
you flew back
