October light
Comes into the room

Strolls around
Looking at paintings
On the walls

Touches figures
Of bronze and marble
Considers the books
Beside my bed

Then goes outside
Saying as it leaves

Well my son
You’ve done good

I think I need to re-think this.  Help me, please.  I looked up daifu and found that it was the Mandarin word for doctor.  Is this how you used it?

You're rapidly becoming one of my favorite PiP poets, Huan. Another softly spoken but extremely moving and powerful poem.

Very good, God-Father, make us work for it.
As a good teacher should.

The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked.
