Before the red wind raged,
That bend on the mountain was where the wild yak roamed,
Today, my grandfather stares at the bend
Remembering the animal called the wild yak.
Resist occupation.
Resist oppression.
Resist harassment.
Resist servitude.
Wild yaks resist all of these before human beings.
—excerpted from 'In Memory of Wild Yaks'
