In the Peach Flower Garden by Changming Yuan
In the Peach Flower Garden
You see no point
In dreaming the only dream that contains
Only fragments as unreal
As a collage in a mirage
The only fragments that make up history. You see
A point in the unlikelihood of a world
Where other creatures have long stopped
Dreaming
