When Will I Be Home?
When will I be home? I don't know.
In the mountains, in the rainy night,
The autumn lake is flooded.
Someday we will be back together again.
We will sit in the candlelight by the west window,
And I will tell you how I remembered you
Tonight on the stormy mountain.
translated from the Chinese by Kenneth Rexroth and published in Sacramental Acts, edited by Sam Hamill & Elaine Laura Kleiner, Copper Canyon Press

Thank you for your website. I love reading Rexroth.
I just finished 'The Dog Stars' on Audio, which ends with this Yin Poem.
It really stuck with me. I wanted to look it up. Landed here.
