86 Madam Ginko, in a swarm of jade

86                       

Madam Ginko, in a swarm of jade

butterflies, invites the air.

We have savored that tea-dark shade

while twilight combed her windy hair.

 

Is it she or we who grow abstract

and dream of far places?  With tact

that reconciles the yang, the yin,

she gathers even such strangers in.
