They are still telling that fanciful story
about Li Bai, how he drowned
trying to embrace the Moon
on the surface of a river;
but, that is a myth,
a Potemkin's facade raised
before the gloomy realities of life
and death; left to us by his cousin,
of an old man
laying on his death-bed
for weeks, in pain,
before death came
without an embrace by the Moon.
