Yu Kuichao: The Horses On the Slope

25 April 2002

Translated by Ouyang Yu

one horse, two horses
three four five six seven horses
one horse

the net-shaped horse
the transparent horse
from one empty door
to another empty door

the skin of the grass
rubbing against the belly
the horses on the slope
their belly shiny and smooth

the horses on the slope
with sunken backs
the blue sky light, the desires heavy
the horses on the slope
their eyes open with wild flowers

Based in Nanjing, China, Yu Kuichao's poetry has appeared in Otherland (No. 1, 1996).
