When you read love, love is no longer there;
when you read spring, my world is all fallen leaves.
Reading is separated from writing by a cup of tea,
or sometimes, by life and death.
I am fond of myself abridged. Many love the branches I cut,
until miracle shows; you catch me up in reading.
You read the silence in a grain of sand, while I stay
in the tempestuous waves within.
