Faint lights

Bi Junhou

silverware

At the end of time, the man who lights the lamp

Watch the stars. The starry sky shines on the earth

We were crammed into the crowd

Slowly fade away from twilight and dusk

The pendulum of time will not stop after all

It's like parting, but also for a short encounter

Like the hour hand, minute hand and second hand, there is a chance to meet in a lifetime

Two people who love each other are like dry wood and fire

Not burning

When we reached the Seven Rivers, we put down the iron, the scrolls and the rulers in our hands

Let go of desires and extravagances

The pace is getting slower and slower, the body

Getting lighter. Like a pair of fairies

In the casual mind

The scale of happiness is carved deeper and deeper by us

Intentionally or unintentionally, the grinding wheel of time

Polish us into two over and over again

Polished, side-by-side silverware

Creator

Outside the delivery room, there are all the Creators. I

Mixed in

For this, I am not ashamed or upset

In the temple of holiness, white and red, what a pure color

In the place where mankind was born, how pure and noble the Creator was

The moment my little granddaughter came

I heard a cry from the heavens of the earth

blacksmith

He was constantly "clanging" the knock

It's like trying to force out the pain in your body little by little

Make up on iron

Blacksmiths eat hard and not soft

Once he left the hammer, the iron tongs, the iron hammer

The body of the Void would rust, dark and red with rust

It will overflow from the inside out

A blacksmith who spends his entire life over-shaping discarded things

The Buddha's heart is soft

And a blacksmith must have an iron heart

Otherwise, he doesn't deserve to be with one piece

Nail fight

Compendium of Materia Medica

In the mountains, some grass was recruited

Other grasses, lost in confusion. The rest

Those, curled up in the horns

Don't dare to speak up

One afternoon, I went to the countryside. Just happened to meet the barefoot doctor in his early years

He was flipping through the Compendium of Materia Medica.

The sun is like a worn-out robe

Draped obliquely over collapsed shoulders

Son out. The old man wandered the clouds.

The lonely pharmacopoeia, only one noble one remains

bone

oh. If there is no disease in the world

Why cure the disease. There is no cure in the world

More sad songs from sorrow

One man is old

When a man is old, he will think nothing

When a man is old, the work in his hands will not stop

His mouth will be chanting all day long

Like an uncle bird, repeating one thing that cannot be done all his life

What a helpless thing. A person

Old is old. Lonely gray

One layer presses against the other.

A faint moment emerged from the cracks of the bones. Hollow fingers

I can't cover up the concrete scene, I can only look at it

Let them leak

When a person is constantly speeding up the rate of aging

He didn't want anything. Just anxious.

In a hurry, the work at hand is finished

Hurriedly put the vague words in his mouth and spit them out word for word

Hurriedly built a white coffin and placed it in the dilapidated East Wing

Then, look at it every three to five minutes

It was as if I had stumbled through the new door in surprise when I was young

Pulsatilla

In the fog, the child with the white filial piety on his head

Not far yet.

I'm sure they're teenagers with weight. Kneeling white mountains and rivers

I am sure that the flood of thoughts has created a great fog.

West out,

No reason.

I walk alone in the wilderness

Pale hair, sad

The white hair is pale, and people want to stop talking.

Old mill

In the old mill, the mother wrapped in a blue plaid turban

It's like a spinning star, star-studded sky under the millstone

At that time, the blue sky was full of stars

At that time, the tireless mother was like a spinning grinding rod in the world

Push the country of self

Marquis of Huaiyin

Walking in a wood,

A squirrel embraces pine seeds. Panic,

Jumped off the top of my head.

He jumped over his crotch and fled

Deep in the woods

Many years later,

I experienced sickness, frustration, helplessness, all kinds of tribulations.

In a dazed overwhelm

Squeeze sideways through this earthly world. Like that

Squirrels, in a panic,

Find the path to the last place

lilac

In the spring, we stopped in front of a clump of lilacs

The lush lilacs are faintly fragrant, and from time to time there are bees that fly and fall

Inadvertently, my little granddaughter picked a lilac leaf

Place in mouth. She shouted: Bitter

I leaned over and told her that whatever was sweet was gained from suffering

The little granddaughter seemed to understand and nodded

He grabbed another piece and held it in his palm

A breeze swept by, golden sunlight

Like a dancing butterfly, a holy spot of light

Hanging over her childish face

Lonely lamp

As a teenager, I went to Inner Mongolia once

I always think that the sunset on the plateau is fun. Often and

A bunch of half-grown children, non-stop

Throw stones and shoot down the sun

More than thirty years have passed

Sunrise and sunset, alternating back and forth

The sun always rises stubbornly and sets

Throw out the stones, as if in old times

There is no trace

The eldest returns, the young companion

Some have a lonely snowy mountain above their heads. Others

Walk into the twilight and become a faint lamp

Revisited, sun

Once again humbly descended to the west

The stone in the heart has nothing to throw away

And I'm dying

It is like an old cow returning late, chewing on the glory and withering of the years

Slowly close your tear-blurred eyes
