FEELINGS ON WATCHING THE MOONThe times are hard: a year of famine has emptied the fields,My brothers live abroad- scattered west and east.Now fields and gardens are scarcely seen after the fighting,Family members wander, scattered on the road.Attached to shadows, like geese ten thousand li apart,Or roots uplifted into September's autumn air.We look together at the bright moon, and then the tears should fall,This night, our wish for home can make five places one.
