Love and the turning year
Thunder
Thunder. My heart trembles.
I lift my head from my pillow and listen.
It is not a chariot.
Fu Hsuan (217-278)
I can no longer untangle my hair
I can no longer untangle my hair.
I feed on my own flesh in secret.
Do you want to measure how much I long for you?
Look at my belt, how loose it hangs.
Anonymous (Six Dynasties)
