Mountain Drinking Song

Document Actions
To drown the ancient sorrows,
we drank a hundred jugs of wine

there in beautiful moonlight. We couldn’t
go to bed with the moon so bright.

Then finally the wine overcame us
and we lay down on the empty mountain:

earth for a pillow
and a blanket made of heaven.
