Occasional Poem 10 of 10

Su Manshu 1884-1918 For nine years         I confronted the wall                 to realize emptiness, Then grasping my staff         I re-entered the dusty world                 and met you dear. I'm just a useless clod         come to the end of the road, It can't be helped.....         Someone else will play your koto.

Bénshi Shī Shíshōu (Shí)

Sū Mànshū 1884-1918 Jiǔ nián miànbì chéng kōng xiāng, Chí xī guīlái huǐ wù qīng. Wǒ bén fù rén jīn yǐyǐ, Rèn tārén zuòyuè zhōng zhēng.

Notes: if Su Manshu walked by this Japanese inn in Gion today, he would surely wistfully regret his vows.
