The Gateway

The Gateway

By Chen Zihong

The Gateway, the joint of Sichuan and Shaanxi,
I set foot on the boundary of Hanzhong,
watched for a long while.

You can see it here,
just a blurry dividing line,
color woods and azure both sides.

The evening wind was a little cold,
my fingers crossed the night sky,
all the light goes out in my eyes.

The moon did not incarnate quality of the sun,
quietly, sprinkled with Guangwu Mountain,
cold, warm and mellow.

At sunset,
I’m not a heartbroken one,
but also in the same horizon.
