Stubbornness

From hell,

there is no more fear,

as if one rejects heaven

and never goes back.

--To this

stubborn play.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Memory

Memory says:

I am salt.

Don't blame me

Spread it on your wounds,

and make you suffer.

Swallow me down with the pain -

I'll melt into your blood,

I'll melt into your sweat,

I'll make you

more powerful than all pain.

The Stranger's Sun

Thank you for giving me

tender mulberry leaves

I Chewing on the sunshine on the stranger

Silk rain of Qingming

Cocooned for you

For you to go through fire and water

Shining ray by ray

Chingming rain, the sunshine on the stranger

Life after life, following you

Towards the world beyond the world

Thousands of miles and thousands of miles of silk road

Looking back at the mulberry leaves of the stranger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O kind heart

O kind heart

Will you embrace All men?

He

will embrace you with a hand

that suddenly clenches your throat

that instantly throws the choking you

to the ground

Black Rock Reef

Life: the sea. ...... This is my one-word poem.

-- from the handwritten note

A row of clouds came from across the sea

Gray-black clouds, holding the wind's might

Riding rows of waves

Coming close to the sea

From the sea horizon

Churning up the sea horizon

With a forceful force

announcing that thunder and lightning storms

will soon come across the sea

without breakwaters

The last of the deadly typhoons

pushed by manta ray-like clouds

clouds pushed by the sea

pushing in with their teeth and their claws

wherever the winds go

the shoreline trees bowed

and the white gulls folded their wings

and the winds were in the wind. The white gulls fold their wings

The fish dive deep

Almost all beings

All retreat

Only

Neither bends his back, nor goes far away, nor dives

The faithful guardian of the sea

In the icy currents and streams

With silent fervor

Eager to be in the midst of this not first

nor the last

thrilling physical battle

to experience the greatest joy

by its thunder and lightning

and then a flash of light

by its dark clouds

and then disintegration in the wind

by the turbid waves crashing on its body

and then a shattering of all

to make the dying die. p>

To make the dying sit up

To wake up the lost

Just a few blackened reefs

Covered with scars chiseled by the winds and the waves

Rough and unremarkable black reefs

Never yielding to the sea

Never betraying it

Fifty Strings #5

Gloomy Days

Snowy Days

No Wine Is Lonely

No Carbon Is Cold

You came from the frozen road

Charcoal on a snowy day

And I'm the dusty wine

You warmed me, you heated me, you boiled me

Lit my fire with your fire

I couldn't bear to see you burn to ashes

You couldn't bear to see me get drunk in a horizontal stream

Ice on the window is like a carving

The room is like a springtime, slightly intoxicated

Gratitude and comfort

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breaks

Walking

on

Autumn fields

I asked old Tolstoy:

Must everything

that is ripe

hang its head low?
