Winter morning overlook

The winter day and night are long: seven o'clock has passed, and the sky is not yet light

The distant sky was a bright red flame

I sat on the living room balcony and looked at the skyline red

Layer by layer, it fades upwards

At the same time, the blue-black weapon under the sky

It has also begun to spit out a white edge:

It was a blue-black human world

The human world is quenching cold water.

The Song of the Green Lotus

When I was a vine plant

Spit out a strip of green tongue

Licking the silence of this afternoon

I tasted it

A complex taste

I have this litter of green puppies

Always loved being in the air

Sniff around. Now they

Finally smelled the enigma of life

That chaotic and incomprehensible breath

More headache than formaldehyde

Wake up

After a day of high fever

December 15, 2021 at 1:30 p.m

I opened my eyes in the darkness: the restart was complete.

The lights that leak out of those buildings, the alternating traffic lights on the streets

The red light of the wings in the air flickered, and the endless unknown light

It gives me peace of mind: everything is still running in order.

Earth: One black box, countless black boxes

A tiny black box. This tiny black box

I just explored a very small part.

Blind box

On the day of the Great Cold Festival, my body

Make a big fuss about the topic of "cold"

I have always been plagued by "internal heat"

A new challenge: persistent low back pain.

This confuses me. Compared to this confusion

Even fear is simplified:

It comes in the form of individual thoughts

Lightning-like ripples streaked through.

From this confused mountain, another thirty-nine days have passed

I will arrive without confusion. Sure enough, the doctor's diagnosis

Contributed a new entry: fasciitis.

Confusion is reduced as a result, but a New Year's gift

It's like a blind box that has been mistakenly removed

Even if you don't want it, you have to pay for it

And you also have to put it

Throw it into the middle of the already messy things

Every now and then it will jump out

Command you to clean up the dust

Command you to wipe away your remorse.

Night of July 4

Dark blue night sky

Suddenly open to me

It was a world completely beyond my comprehension:

A mirror that does not reflect the shadow.

Stars: A vague metaphor in the mirror in front of you

Plane: A masterless shadow is smuggling

- Cross the mirror to become a solid.

Dark clouds in the moment

Moving clouds: pieces of black earth filled with seeds

I knew that soon the roots of the rain would come down

Although I have never seen the branches and leaves of those plants

But I've seen the bones of stars blooming in the sky

stone

I wanted to go downstairs to look for the stone

The one that was across the doorbell from me

Of course, it is not without other stones

Right now beside me, silent

The veins of heating flowed and made them

Become the skeleton of the building, become a living part

I wanted to go downstairs and look for the stone

We exist in the same era

Living in the same area

When the cold wind covers it with frost and snow

It's silent, like it was when it was high above

It was part of the mountain, now

Still maintain the shape of the mountain:

A very small and tiny mountain.

summer

I climbed up to the ground from the underground garage

I saw an old man with a small child

Catch cicadas in the garden of the community

I was shocked and immediately realized

I just put that metal shell

Take it off.

Grazing spring and autumn

Far away

I saw a guy

Knock the side of the street

A cherry blossom tree

I saw that it was a sanitation worker

Holding a long pole

Knock on the canopy of the flower tree

The petals screamed

Running around

He picked up the broom again

Put the petals that fall to the ground

All drove together

Late last fall

I've seen cleaners in the neighborhood

Take a long pole and beat the remaining leaves of the tree

I was still curious at the time

What are they doing

Now I know

Cattle and sheep are not allowed in the city

Humanity has already begun

Graze trees
