Sleepless Tonight (Poetry)

Poetry/ Chen Jiazhong (Beijing)

I was a squirming cicada in the darkness of the night

I just crawled out of the ground

Let the night dry my paper-thin cicada wings

I want to fly high

Fly to a tall poplar tree

Give my talk

But regret follows me like a shadow

It's like my inseparable twin brother

It will do the same thing or temperament as me

I can't sleep tonight

I kept my eyes open

Go and see the night sky

I felt like the night sky was like a carp running around

Witness the dazzling gantry in the distance

Make a hard work

I tried to put this fish in the night sky

Turn over the fish belly white

Then the day will come

But it was night

It's like a naughty subway

Run out of control through the hinterland

Let the world be dark
