Analysis of Su Shih

The Jade River
wraps around the world.
Never once straight.
The cosmic crazy eight.

Waters flow to a surreal horizon
and a thousand forevers,
at the end of every day.
Let it be what it is.

"The rest of my life,
on the river,
on the sea."
A golden path
chosen by the sunset.

To live a 1000 lives.
To die a 1000 deaths.
Across the River of Jade
down to the Nine Springs.

Into infinite emptiness.
Kingdom of the Dragons.
No one has ever been there
...until now.
