To Li Po

To Li Po

A Poem by Michael Oliver
"

Li Po died while drunk trying to pluck the reflected moon in water

"
Leave holding against the frantic fury
The moon hangs attraction - a bight
Isolation - the shine of eternity
Untouched - aloof from Autumn winds

- a night black pool - treasure floats
Rippled danced -a harvest allure - easy
Eludes a capture - eludes a peace
Drunk - drowned - in desires reaping
