Harvest sunflowers with Grandpa

We pick strong sunflowers

Made into a small stick two feet long, it is used to beat mature and plump

The flower plate, for those who refuse to take it lightly

Hand over the fruit of the flower plate, we will

Pound harder, rub with a small stick, and use your hands

Until all the sunflower seeds are all for us

We'll just get up and leave

And put the scarred mallet

Discarded next to its own kind of possession

Yushō-ji Temple

Knock

Long

No one answered, not so much

It's an empty door

It is better to think of it as an empty mountain

I suddenly stopped thinking about visiting the door

Standing still next to it, sunset

It's like a monk's robe

Drape it on my heart

Mother stores potatoes in the yard

We pick well-proportioned, whole potatoes

Hide in cellars for use as seeds in the spring

The rest is sold in exchange for the rice noodles oil and salt of life

Pick and choose, in the huge potato pile

Few like it

- Some are too big, some are too small

Some were split by the head of the hammer and scarred

And there is

In the wet mud

Has rotted all or part of the body...

A large number of potatoes that have been removed

Silently huddled together

Mother and I sat next to each other, it seemed

We are one of them

It seems that we are born with a part that is not accepted by the world

Visit the Upper Reservoir in winter

This time

It's the right time —

Around the reservoir

Empty and empty

The mountains receded, and the grass beach withered

A poplar grove

I also walked with the birds to the depths of winter

How nice, I'm the only one

Stand on the embankment

With a blue mirror of one hundred and fifty square kilometers

Left once

Right once

Look at yourself carefully

Book with father

I am convinced that the dream is a high-speed train.

Through the car window

I see myself

Pull a trolley full of food

You can't climb uphill, you push the cart hard behind you.

I saw that I had given birth to a daughter

Lie on the warm kang of the old house

You wear a red suit and hold yourself

Hand-squeezed clay toys, laughing and groaning to come to me.

I saw that that night, my sister-in-law was going to give birth

You push the door so loud that you're anxious

Outside the window, leaving a heavy sigh...

See last time, on your clay kang covered with green lacquered cloth

It's full of people, you and the neighbors who have been dead for years

Gathered around and talking, laughing and talking

I recognized it at a glance

Love for the door flower lady.

In this world, He has ever died

But it's us

Living in two parallel worlds

Two lines of tears, are newly built railroad tracks

In the night, there is a clear light...

A red suitcase

Father will have a brand new suitcase

Handed it to me

It seems that I want to put my youth in

How greedy, all the way

I walked and stopped, picking up stones with joy

Iron block of sorrow... Put them one by one in the box

How poor

It was as if the more you pretended, the more you had nothing

I finally began to learn to unload my mountain of lust

Barrier-like hate

Cut off the mess of delusions...

Now, my suitcase is getting emptyer and lighter

But there is one thing that is not discarded

That diamond-like love

I also need to embrace the left and the right, as if under a bright moon

My father would wait for me at the terminal

At that time, me and the suitcase were old

The epidermis is damaged and the color is dull

It was as if I was empty-handed

Just to hold your father

At that time, we all understood

Our lives are insignificant

A suitcase is actually a red light

Occasionally, let's be in the depths of red dust

Stop it......

Fallen leaves

Yellow leaves that have just fallen

There is an unknown toughness

As my son and I stood under the poplar trees of late autumn

He was delicate as a new leaf

And I was holding a fallen leaf in my hand

Look closely, there is wind and rain inside

There is lightning

There was thunder

There are some memories that are difficult to climb over

They have all become the illusion of time

The thought of falling leaves will fill the forest

Think of falling snow

The branches above the head will be bent

Think of many things in life

Grit your teeth and get through

The poem of the little muppet

My little muppet leaned against the water cup

Cocking Erlang's legs, he opened his mouth and smiled

Different from my gritted teeth about life

It will always be like that

Laughter turned into a crooked crescent

Like a hollow man

Laughing heartlessly and lunglessly

Laugh angularly and angularly

Sometimes, dust falls all over its body

It still laughs, sometimes

Accidentally dropped it on the ground and it was still laughing

It seems that its mission is to laugh

Look at me, look at the world

Sometimes, I look at the little muppets

That Maitreya smile

It was an eternal guide to me

Pear blossoms fall

Mother grows vegetables under a pear tree

Sprinkle with rapeseed and sow spinach seeds

And covered with mulch film

When transplanting cucumber seedlings and eggplant seedlings

The mother's solemn expression was like a nuwa

Clay and man are made there

Around the time of the rains, my mother would plant pumpkin seeds and waxy corn seeds

Tomato seedlings and sweet potato seedlings are also planted in soft soil

Midday sun

Shoot at the mother's dark forehead

Fine beads of sweat

Start to seep out little by little

The rough hands resemble the two front legs of a bee

Constantly ploughing the ground, digging pits...

Wait until the pear blossoms fail, in the vegetable garden

It will be covered with green shoots of different shades

They are arranged very neatly, horizontally and vertically

Let the mother live this pawn

Practice the ability to cross the river again and again

Let her weed, loosen the soil, fertilize, water... outside

Too late to think about the meaning of happiness

A description of a photo

An old mother in her seventies

Took a picture, this one

Sixteen open paper-sized photographs, straight

Occupies the most central position on the cabinet

The mother in the photo, wearing a red cheongsam

Fair skin, rosy lips, slim figure

Especially a pair of twenty-year-olds

Slim jade hands

Pose as an orchid finger

When we enjoyed the photos, my mother smiled happily

We said the photo was taken very young

Mother bends down with her hands

Wiping the dust off the kang, we shut up and didn't talk about the mother in reality

Wrinkled face, wrinkled hands

The back is slightly hunched and the waist is bloated

Only say, the mother in the photo

Mother, don't be sad

I was injured again

Don't be like when you were a kid

Heartache I fell

My knees were bleeding

The arm wiped off the skin and flesh

Don't blame me softly

Say I always run too fast

Careless, can't see clearly

Those inconspicuous stumbling blocks under your feet

Mother, I have learned

A man climbed up

Quietly pat off the dust on your body

Still frowning

Still can't help but drill the pain of the heart

But none of that matters

A person always has to have several scabs

Go and cover your heart with bruises

Everyone always has to have it

A new self

Gradually growing out of the old self

Stand up

Just like those grasses at the head of my father's grave...

Front Street

Front Street is located in a ditch formed by two loess mounds

The courtyards that were once thriving have all been

People go, but can not say that the courtyard is empty

Because the yard is not empty, it is overgrown with tall weeds

They occupied the yard and the roof

Occupied the collapsed gates and the ruins of the houses

Occupies the path leading to a remote home

They thrive and are not abandoned

It's barren, or backward

Not like those of us who come after us, like dandelion seeds

Already riding the wind, flying to big cities, flying to small cities

Or leave Front Street and build a new house outside the ditch

In the dense grass, crickets come from time to time

Cheerful piano sounds

There are one or two butterflies or moths

Fly over the grass

It's still my best hometown

Thanks to these grasses and tiny inhabitants

They are inseparable from my hometown

Depending on each other

Stone door hanging coffin

We held out our fingers and pointed

And loudly comment on the material of these coffins

Age, the way of suspension, we even talked about

The man in the coffin, spoke

Their gender, identity, rich and poor...

We talk about it with impunity

There is no fear of waking these up

Ancients who had been sleeping for hundreds of years

Actually, I think

Even if they sat up from the coffin

Nor will it blame us, as a person who has died once

The noise of the world has long been on the world

Shut one's ears

Memories of an early morning

The sky is blue

The sun was clean and outside the walls

In the middle of the poplar leaves shining with golden light

There was a crisp birdsong

In the early morning of my hometown, the clocks and watches were idle

The air is clean and cool, like a spring in the mountains

Can wash the lungs

There was a rhythm in the kitchen

The sound of pushing and pulling bellows

Oh-——,----------------------------------------------------------------

The mother's figure swayed in the white steam

In the vast courtyard, play tai chi a few times

Time seems to be moving more slowly

Qi and blood are slowly unobstructed, and there is leisure into the heart

A small square table under an almond tree

Breakfast was simple

Yellow millet porridge, steamed white steamed buns

Seasonal vegetables picked in the vegetable garden

Chew carefully, swallow slowly, time slows to a standstill

Simple to relax...

Grass buds

I like, in the spring breeze, to do my best

Sprouts of grass that break through the soil

I'm ashamed compared to it

I used a third of my strength

Learned to dodge

With a third of the force

Weave nice excuses for cowardice

The remaining third of the strength

He also became a deserter

Don't dare to reach out

Touch the throat of fate

confession

My body type and appearance come from my father

My stains and little nose come from my mother

My reticence and bookishness came from my father

My violent temper comes from my mother

My sentimentality comes from my father

My optimistic humor comes from my mother

I know more and more

We are a family that cannot be separated

If the mother argues with the father again

I will never again favor my mother

I will stand among them

The left hand pulls up the father, and the right hand pulls up the mother

And not like now, only mother

A lonely person

There is a temple above my head

At nine o'clock in the night, a voice

Turn into a gentle flowing spring

Found my ears

The springs come from rented attics

A fat woman who loves to laugh

She was singing a Buddhist song

Wonderful things happened:

The little instability in my body turned into fallen leaves

Fall to the ground

Heart Lake became unsettling

I thought she should be facing a Buddha

Sitting in a believer's posture

A blazing incense is following her singing

Melting yourself...

I think, at this moment, there is a temple above my head

Kasuga

Mother must be in the garden again

Fresh dandelions are picked

She must be wearing that top again

An old straw hat that has been torn

One of her hands

Put on it, already tanned by the sun

Her heart must be there again

Calculating my return trip

And I'm a hundred miles away

Brew last year's dandelion tea

Look at them

In a warm cup

Slowly stretch out the green body, like some fish

I understand the mind of the water

Twilight

At the entrance of the community, there stood an old woman in her eighties

A pair of wrinkled hands pressed against a wooden cane

Her whole person was like a decaying piece of decaying wood

The pestle was there motionless

She was also a child who left home or returned home

A mother going to work or leaving work, but for now

She faded to the edge of time like a withered flower

Leaving the branches soon

It was a long way out, and I couldn't help but look back at her

It's like seeing yourself decades later

Standing there alone

skating

The ice was so good back then

It was as if the creek had been designed for us to freeze

The laughter at that time was so good

Slip up and laugh

Laugh when you slip up and wrestle

At that time, it was better to fall

A bone crawled up, not like now

After the fall, the body could not get up for a long time

The soul can't laugh for a long time
