Skin Boat — To a Good Man Lost at Sea

…Are the White Peonies blooming
In Shinshi city and did he stop there?
Surely he bribed the King of the Rapids
Enough, but not too much,
And hid salt from the taxmen.
If they lost a Towman to the rocks,

At the talk of war and more Robber Lords
Taking heads in the Lower Gorge.
I know what it is

And the ink smudges
Your white fingers.
The River has taken your beloved.
It has taken mine.
Young Mistress,
Can you hear the wild geese cry?
Young Mistress,
Where will they rest tonight?

War (after Akhmatova)
then too
did trees blossom
when the prisoners came home
wrens took dust baths, moths found that light
still burns.

In 2009, GE sold $6 billion dollars worth of wind turbines. In 2008 the industry generated $50.2 billion in sales and also attracted $37 billion in investments….
