Li Po-esk poem

Li Po is an amazing Chinese poet from the BC period. This poem is in his style (sort of).


I see you asleep in the brackan

watched by the moon
an arm of light around your torso

The moon mirrors the sun
as i awake, mirror you sleeping
both contented
both calm
inside we smile
like a lizard on a hot rock.
