A SOUTHERN RETREAT<br> 
<br>

				 after Zhang Yu (1333-1385)<br>
<br>
<br>

                        You moved into a mobile home<br>
                        to be able to be still,<br>
                        confined yourself of your free will,<br>
                        heard the silence say: welcome.<br>
<br>
                        All this the world misconstrued<br>
                        as downward mobility:<br>
                        living cheaply to live free,<br>
                        accompanied by solitude.<br>
