Hollow out the stones

Hao Suisui

Blacksmith shop

The grains that were born from the fire were given to the scythe

Autumn will be harvested on the blade of the scythe

A hoe hardened into steel through the bellows

Hoe off the weeds and leave the best spring to the blacksmith

The snow on the Roundhead Mountain opposite the gate is melting

The sound of iron striking from the blacksmith's shop reached the branches where the magpies had called

A splash of mars, all the doors in the village

Paste the spring league in red

scarecrow

In the back bay, the valley puts the best growth

Left to the village, watched over by the Scarecrow

The grain is getting fuller and fuller

The grain was left to him by his father

Father cut down the whole autumn with a sickle

Autumn is a grain drying ground for crops

Father dried here from the autumn rain

The back of the scarecrow that comes back

The scarecrow left in the field will not return

It also has to take care of the emptiness and the cold wind

If the sound of the wind is a letter of time

The village gradually transformed into a winter image

The father who sent the snow had been lost in the wind for a long time

The smoke rises and suppresses the limelight

The footsteps of walking cannot leave an inch of time worth giving up

My father must have gone looking for his own time

The wind and snow continue in another color

The lower the greeting of identity, the more snow colored

Thicker than the height of the village, unattainable cooking smoke

It was the father who wrote back to the wind

Every snowflake that drifts is the father

Time to get back from afar

I had a spring to survive the desolation of the Kanji

Closed in the door of spring, closed in

The Chinese characters in the house are closed in the night

The lamp that doesn't dry the oil

It has been a long time, and the rust has been rusted

When will the outbreak end? The oracle hinted at it

Spring, the spring that has been decorated with grass and trees

Please return the fields and hills, of course

And give it back to the city

Spring in the newspaper is red

My spring survived the desolation of every Chinese character

Cross the rusty exit of the night

Inside the hard part

Touch the harder times

The stonemason came carrying a chisel

Put your own ideals and love

Engraved on the back of time

The wind and rain on earth have come and gone again and again

The skeletonized appearance arrives straight

disillusionment. Stone with the essence of the part

Try to leave their vicissitudes behind

It's getting dark

The mason's lamp was on

He carved midnight with a chisel

Just want to possess all the prophecies of the stone

Leave tonight's testimony

Drink it

Drink a part of the time

The heart is entrusted

Leave it to a lot of time

Including secrets that should not be spoken

Drink half a glass of sunshine

Illuminates the darkness within the body

Hearts grow into trees in the light

If there is a leaf that needs to wither

That's my annoyance

Drink a part of the decay

Drink the past

It is being lost

Time permits

Please bury the secret into decay

Write down the past in one stroke

Time on the undertone

Hunters

Gunshots pulled the trigger in the grass

Blue and white porcelain could not withstand the sound of the wind

The sound of the wind is fragile, where it passes

Hear the mournful cries of the beasts in the middle of the night

Beasts that grow up in winter

Try to lurk outside the targeting star

The sound of the wind was higher than the cold, the hunter's body temperature

Warm up gunpowder and bullets

When aiming again at the beast's terrified footprints

Walking on fire, filled the grass and trees

Ten thousand crevices

Feed the birds

You decorate the birdsong with hunger

Keep the initial sun away from food

Flowing water distinguishes itself from the tips and branches of the grass

Eventually withered in the form of light and shadow

I got up and found firewood in the right light

Light it with a meter of light and heat up the cool air

Heat a hot river and valley

I caught the birdsong on an empty stomach with my hands

Please all the begging birds this morning

Come to my compound

I fed them the direction of a river

Feed a leaf green, feed a handful of firewood

flame

I continued to feed, feeding them the sharp edge of light

Feed them the height of the mountains

Feed them the footprints that linger in the courtyard

Autumn in the mirror

Time is yellow

All the leaves fell

Starry. Densely populated

One by one, they are also yellowing

A lamp that contains the light of the night

Fade in the mirror

There is only one path to reach

The loneliness of this autumn

Who goes to hand in the extra hustle

Who's in the mirror is destined to be

Sink into the yellowing loneliness

subsidiary

The birdsong lost their feet and fell on a leaf

The leaves are too light to bear the slip off

Become another verb at this moment

Let this early morning bird song know how to leave

The sky is too light, so much

Things above the top of your head look at the land

Sun and goshawks during the day, night

Stars and sleeping clouds and a moving wind

It's going to fall down after all. The sky is higher

It is also a height that can be touched when the night is low

Every bird song is an appendage of the bird

Just as the petals are appendages of the branches

Seawater is an appendage of salt, and salt is human

subsidiary. Just as day is an appendage of night

Just as you and I are attached to each other

Like you and I are ultimately vassals of the land
