Sunset at the Plateau

The amber sun has sunk
I am lost in the Summer Palace—Shandu
Where sheep can be found everywhere in autumn
I am lost in the breeze full of fragrance of buckwheat
I am lost in the ice and frost in June
I am lost in the sandstorm of last night
I am lost in golden flower garden
I am lost in the dream of Kublai
I am lost in a city familiar but strange to me
I am lost in the subway
I am in a newly published book
I am lost in Russian letters
Shall I return or come back
I am lost the wind
I am lost you
I am lost me
