The following poems (first lines) are included in the manuscript:

Travels in China:


A distant junk, the Yellow Sea...
Along Forbidden City Walls...


Hong Kong:
Took a Walk in Ti-O...
Good-bye Pi-O...

Singapore:
Bird Park
They're tearing down, a shanty town..

Yangtze:

Early Morning River...
Along the River...
Echoes of the People's Boat...
Along the dock at Nanking
Away from me, down the river...
Chungqing away, A day past night.
How bitter can be winter's bite...
...Forever waters must you scold?
Only lasting the length of now's stay.
Chimes of the Quarrymen's laden
The Locks at Yichang

Sleep won't come, on an endless night...
Moving along on the train...

Poems about my Class at HUST or China in general


I am a stranger at this pond...
They used to pour me tea...
What's happened to this morning...
Through the classroom window...
Friends in university halls
By the Moongate
This Country Road is growing small...
Before the Rain
An Atrabilious:  I was on a Melancholy Walk...
Clever is Dexterity...
I am not the Tao...
Tienaman Square: She lifts high the torch of freedom...
I thought I heard a whistle in my soul...
The moon was there for me...
Before the CAAC flight: If death you know I've come to meet...

Poems written during my stay at HUST

Why do you love your loneliness?
You cannot stop my song...
Sentimental Solitude...
I thought it was, just for me...
Impressions came, impressions went...
In the hours of early morning, I thought about Today...
My secret heart, I cannot share...
I like to take my morning slow...
Bats from my balcony...
A stately man was given...
Fashions of Fate
The Sun Stele has had it wrath, you know...
Reflections of a moment...
I hear wedding bells ringing...
Nomadic Romper, a drifter through time...
