Haiku Written on the Great Wall at Dawn

The limitless haze unfolds
Mountains behind mountains fade in purple beyond.
Behind the sun hides

Feet in the dust which crumbles
Bones of an ancient wall dying ever slowly
My back against stone

My guide says the winds don't stop
And at the crest of the mountain ridge, on my face.
The wind never stops

Walk along the cool morning
March with the crenellated sentinels to see
The desolate sun
