Paint an Island by Michelle Reisdorf   Some francolins came this afternoon, Spattered my drawing paper with ink. Suddenly, a jagged island, Shallow cove and sandbeach Appeared on it. With one of my fingertips I made petals fall in riotous profusion Yes, and he,standing in the fair wind,in a Tang gown. I thought we had met in a dream, But one was in the mist – covered waters, One was performing a sword-dance on the cliff. 画一座岛 雪泥（西欧）   午后，几只鹧鸪飞来 溅泼一纸墨。 隐约呈现嶙峋孤岛， 浅湾，沙滩。 我用指尖轻描 桃李缤纷，他穿着唐朝的青衫 晓风拂面。 梦里似曾招唤， 一个沉溺烟波， 一个峭岩舞剑。
