Terra-Cotta Warrior (By Yi Sha) Comments

I did not know this and the mysteries that revolve around these life-size statues could feed a novelist's writings for several years. Hmmm- -I am not having an idle moment here but a story-idea moment.... Thank you so much for your always mind expanding poems that you are so kind to share with us. A zillion 10's and onto my fav list! ! ! !

I bend my body down In search of my skull I fall over with a rumble Transforming to a heap of yellow earth. An aching silence all around Who is that strumming Ambush on All Sides? A very meaningful poem- - - -

I bend my body down In search of my skull I fall over with a rumble Transforming to a heap of yellow earth. An aching silence all around Who is that strumming Ambush on All Sides? - - - - Written in the backdrop of human size terracotta figures of actual soldiers of First Qin Emperor's army discovered in the suburbs of Xi'an China, the poem is layered with meanings. Thank you for bringing us this poem through translation of Yi Sha's work.
