To entertain you, a man offers a sea bass
Green filamentous seagrasses are tied to black lacquered plates.
.
The sound of "ah" echoed throughout the room:
You don't know what's going to happen.
You may be able to see the deep darkness through a telescope
The clear full moon under the reflection of the sky,
Looking out from dewdrop bay to the ocean of jelly,
But, don't, this beautiful naming is just a rhetoric.
Return home empty-handed on Sunday afternoon
What does the hunter have in mind?
Their view of honor and your view of cruelty
Or are there similarities? Sunset
The oblique light and shadow is a knife
Divide will and action into infinite details
Clear flakes. You look into the eyes of a sea donkey,
Clear and bright. The gills of the fish move slightly
Almost invisible. Sea bass are sporadic
The taste of dreams, but this is by no means a dream. "Ah,
So meticulously " spread throughout the room,
The sea bass twitched suddenly. He
Blood twitching, blood twitching, when
The owner thinly cuts out slices of crystal clear sashimi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="288" > great white shark</h1>
For several days he threw away a handful of tuna blood
Into the sea, in order to lure the great white shark
Hook it so we can touch its fins.
Primal power has parallax:
At the museum display, a statue of the Tyr'ertek people lies down
Transformed into elegant and exquisite carvings, incarnated as art, but
Witness the priesthood from the body of the blue victim
Tear out the still pulsating heart and place it in
The Thyratik statues pulsated, and we wanted to throw up.
We think of the use of beryllium rotary machines
Marks the advantages of technology, but in the past and present
The ideology is driven to make revenge ruthless.
The urge to play fancy skydiving, sit-down, and ocean canoeing
It is the impulse to liberate, the impulse to die.
Diamonds and graphite may be carbon
Allotropics, but what is sacrificial and desired
allotropic? The moon shining in the black water,
Yellow forsythia that blooms on a April night,
Red maple leaves that fall silently in October:
The seasons are not yet humanoid in desire.
Chacmool is a huge sleeping statue found in the Ruins of the Mayans in Mexico, with a container on the knee to hold the offering. The Tyltec were a people who ruled Mexico before the Aztecs, and their culture flourished in the eleventh century.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="289" > a bowl with black glaze and white scallops</h1>
Turning over the pages of the obituary,
He heard the sound of screws tightening,
Remembering a sparrow dying on the floor of a greenhouse.
The mind can be immersed in a vat
In your thinly sliced eggplant, sharpened pencil,
When shaving. He woke up slowly, light
Seeped down from the skylight and illuminated
Bedroom. He remembered the tip of his tongue
Swim from her breasts to her armpits
She trembled slightly, feeling the pain of joy.
An elder holding an eagle feather,
Let the smell of cedar smoke float and gently buckle a woman
shoulders. He wants this mind:
Pure as a bowl with ten small round ears
It is glazed with black glaze and trimmed with white scallops.
Broad-tailed hummingbirds swirling in the air --
A drop of dew on a mimosa leaf
There is a power of daytime angularity.

The apricot blossoms produce five petals.
You step on a nail, and just when you flinch,
A man closes his mailbox and a chef charred
Crushed pork in a pot, sutured by a surgeon
A lady forgot to take out the sponge.
In the waiting room, you gaze at the chart
Feel the compression of the nerves
Pass through the wrist to the hand.
You stare at the cross-shaped plank
Black and white marker, I don't know
Where to start. A gardener in the driveway
Pruning rose shrubs; roof trimmers applying hot tar;
The plumber was flawed by the gas heater
And suffocated in the room; a mechanic became
Irrational figures, swirling into their own bodies.
You wonder in your heart: what kind of initial sorrow
Beginning to form? Day guards grabbed indiscriminately
A handful of seeds and crystals are made into a sign.
２
Nail the filial piety to the board to watch
The brown on the wings follows the creamy yellow frieze
Extend outward into a series of blue circles.
A retired oceanographer remembers his father
Engaged in the work of double-sided espionage in the Japanese occupation era,
But promised to pardon his Kuomintang generals
Assassinated; his father later became known as a communist
He was sentenced to life in prison and died in prison.
Drink snake blood and eat deer antler velvet
There is no guarantee that the mind will be deep and glowing.
You notice three of the four corners of the intersection
Ginkgo biloba, horse chestnut trees, clusters can be clearly seen
The pear tree, do not understand what its meaning is.
The action of a small drop of red dye falling into the clear water
Is it an inevitable action in life?
The melting point of ice is the point of transparency,
Like a kiss, or a leaf that begins to turn red,
Or disappear under cumulus clouds as the rain lines in the air.

In the mind, emotions dissolve into color:
A purple mist rose when teenagers
Drink a bottle of paint thinner; become blood red
When, as it happens, a piece of photocopy paper crosses over you
Palm, cut the skin; yellow when you hear it
They are in the Taklamakan Desert
Exhumed a 4,000-year-old corpse;
Scarlet, when you try to decipher it
A series of engraved words that look
It seems to mean that the vernal equinox was shot at noon
Sunlight on the ground; sky blue
When a Rabbi priest he was the son of an acupuncture doctor
Glorify the virtues of lentils; brown
When you hear someone in the Alps
Frozen for four thousand years, with a bunch on his body
Dehydrated hairy mushrooms; green, when
The crow cries from the swaying spruce tree.
５
The first leaves of the apricot tree, the crescent moon,
Woman smoking in the yard in a wheelchair,
Brain Computed Tomography Scan: These are strings
The beginning of things. Each loss is unique:
Lying on the sidewalk a golden ginkgo leaf,
The girl sobbed in the room. Someone goes back
China, invited old friends to dinner,
Later, I heard that his friends thought he had miscalculated
The situation was he was invited by others to be
Humiliated: He told people never to see them
This man from the United States, "he was cunning and rude. ”
Try to detect subtle changes in emotions
It is no different from a chrysalis hanging from a branch.
An upstairs bedroom overflowing with the scent of lilies
It became a scented diamond.
Can pupae infuse malign infusion into their wings?
In the mind, what is never repeated? Or keep repeating?
６
Throwing round and round of gold paper,
Before he died,
on St. Mark's Square;
Make a U-turn
Then throw out your fingers;
Huge dust fungus
Make the car full
taste of almonds;
The daytime guard reads out the day,
"Net";
Split arm,
Write the word "resistance",
with blood, in a white T-shirt;
A dead bumblebee
In the greenhouse;
The comet's flickering tail,
dehydrated vineyards,
Tsunami;
In the form of ten dimensions
Go;
Cut the abalone on the counter --
sea urchin
Stacked in a Polyromona box.
Melon seeds
Sprout in the dark.

A hummingbird perched on the lilac branches,
Peace of mind. A sweltering cold perhaps
Frozen to death a million large flower butterflies? I follow
Waves of flowers blooming in the garden: from the iris to
Wild roses to quercus to poppies to mountain stems
to marshmallows. You might be able to do it in a blackhead waxbill
The song from the triangular leaf poplar found the waves
Or when you listen to crickets chirping in the twilight.
I suck on your hair, look
A cuttlefish emits a cloud of ink in the water.
You may be able to get one at the Chengdu market
Find waves in the flattened pig's head,
Or in the diamond pulsation of a butterfly.
I might be able to find it when it was the twentieth time
Pull the yarn out of the indigo dyeing vat and watch the yarn in the air
The color becomes darker and darker. I found it
When my hand moves against the curve of your waist,
Slowly and slowly perceive the tilt of the Milky Way.
