Good poems of the day
expiation
Text/Zhang Xiaobai

Coming down from the construction elevator, my white skin turned red
Thinking of the wind on the 73rd floor, death is not a way back
Eleven years ago, a wind in the autumn sent away the living
That's my grandmother
Straw beds, quilts washed many times
Her high blood pressure murdered her as many times as she went
To this day, I still accuse high blood pressure
Including me, who has no soul

Father, call me at 21:06
Speaking of my profession, I can transfer jobs without
I said no, and on the grounds that I was busy at work
Hang up the phone. Subtle sounds from the entry line
I can think of him at this moment in front of the balcony
He would light a cigarette and put his hands on the parapet
Torn yellow face by the cold wind
He once said it was atonement
Yes, after the grandmother died
He prepared a coffin
"After I died, I was buried in the old chai forest."
Don't let my suffering be planted in the hearts of my children," the father admonished

It was a decade earlier, and I stepped out of the van
In the old woman in the brick house, she sewed a small shirt
Lamps hanging from rotten beams, rarity of the 70s
I don't know why there is
The left hand that was pricked by the needle was still struggling
Blood flowed out and into the fabric of the new clothes
Years later
"That room disappeared, little shirt who wore it away"
