Needing More


A pot needs more than soil to grow a plant.
A parent needs more than a partner to raise a child.
A believer needs more than faith to stay a believer.
A doe needs more than speed to save her fawn.
A well needs more than a bucket to quench a thirst.
A disaster needs more than destruction to create victims.
A pilgrim needs more than a path to reach holy ground.

Alluvial Plains

We make more of less,
Mourn its loss, scythe the chaff, and
Stake a net to catch
Loess before the Yangtzee
Carries it off to the sea.
