Painted Hawk[1]
Frosty[2] winds rise from plain white silk,
a gray hawk, the painting wondrously[3] done.
It perks[4] up its body, longing for the crafty[5] hare[6],
it looks sidelong[7], like a melancholy[8] Hu.
One could pinch the light on its tie-ring,
on the porch its stance[9] can be summoned.
When will it strike the common birds?—
blood and feathers sprinkling[10] weeds of the plain.
