FROM A LONG WAY OUT OF PAH-GATZIN-KAY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: With all those I love
Last Line: I hold myself in my own arms like a dead friend
Subject(s): China; Travel; Weariness; Journeys; Trips; Fatigue


With all those I love
Shining
In radiant light
On the other side of the world,
I lie down in this
Darkness.
I straighten my legs.
I close my eyes.
I try to dream of my own waking.
I hold myself in my own arms like a dead friend.
