to fold a song in two
to mark the places where battles were lost
and sisters turned into trees
he went to the places Saigyo went
a stone in the river
Du Fu, Li Po, Saigyo, Basho, Kiyooka
he went to see friends (living)
he went to visit friends (long dead)
a stone takes on the shape of the river
water burrows, insistently, as hard as it can
water burrows, insistently, as hard as it can
