chenqing_100Our final prompt for this year's National Poetry Month is this poem I found yesterday, posted to my own DW, and absolutely cannot get out of my head:
The Witch
by Ye Hui
trans. by Dong Li
On the bridge
A village witch
Tells me
You see nothing
Clearly, since in all your eyes
A fog gathers generations
