Hobble Creek Review
Hobble Creek Review
Changming Yuan
Replacing

Running short of bulbs
I planted some root words instead     
Along the fence     
Of my heart

All winter
They seemed dreaming under the frozen soil

When the last dews fly away     
You will see certain three-colored tulips     
Blooming aloud     
Towards the early summer sun
