New Years Eve at Du Wei’s Home
New Years Eve vigil[1] at my Arong’s home,
bowls of pepper-ale, their flowers already praised.
Congregating[2] hatpins cause noise among stabled horses,
lines of torches scatter crows in the woods.
Tomorrow I pass my fortieth year,
evening light slants too low for a meteoric[3] rise.
Who can continue to stay so constrained?—
utter drunkenness will be the rest of my life.
