Shoo Tao 秀陶

WIND
*

Translated by Steve BRADBURY 柏艾格


A sort of sigh on an industrial scale.

A windbreak forest bends into a brush that tirelessly scrubs an
ash-gray sky. A smokestack inscribes a puffed-up version of the
trailing stroke in the Chinese character for tiger.

A barely audible sigh escapes me. It then climbs aboard a massive
transit bus and rushes off. Where will it get off, at some tiny
stop you probably never heard of?

The sky grows dim, and the air is filled with the heady scent of
roasting cuttlefish.

From Shoo Tao’s 秀陶collection of poems Ssi-yu-mei 《死與美》[Death and beauty], Alhambra: New World Poetry Publishing, 2000, 67.
