Yi Sha
Up, Up and Away
an addictis dead
four days after
going off drugs
he died in rehab
his family's
inexpressible relief
is set free
I
was a friend of his
out on the streets
I suddenly looked up
and saw him
hurtling across the sky
just like Superman—
up, up and away

UP, UP AND AWAY
From: Yi Sha shixuan
Up, Up and Away
an addictis dead
four days after
going off drugs
he died in rehab
his family's
inexpressible relief
is set free
I
was a friend of his
out on the streets
I suddenly looked up
and saw him
hurtling across the sky
just like Superman—
up, up and away
