Abstract: FOOTSTEPS Worms, disinherited by borrowing rain, Writhe on the cold sidewalk, and my footsteps Are nothing to their frozen agony. So, a handful of centuries is brief time Beside my endless twenty years. A woman, watching stars, conceived And carried In her womb for sixty years Philosophy. After such nourishment, Lao-tzu could speak at birth, and gave Himself a name, Li Erh. What was the use? They called him by the other all his life. I do not believe the tale—so many days are beyond my concept. The slow moment Of a kiss Is less cold than distant stars, Winter's sidewalk longer than the trip From heated house to house.
