egrets all have flown
drunken crabber's empty nets
now chewing rocks in the wilderness
grinding teeth with July approaching
breathing the fumes as the train vacates the station
dismantling nests in unused summer vacation
when there's finally a break through
the backhoes return to start it over
welcome the typhoonssummer playground, the devil's hometown
the cooling shower of passing clouds
whetted in retirement
being here and now
let the pests be pestered
i don't worry
the egrets shall return
when the nest's packed up
vacant for someone else's turn
food we'll fish for in the Han
after the sunny Taichung sun shaded
summer rain coming down around
a beauty that astounds
