Poet Wang Wei's poem "Why Write Poetry"

◎ Why write poetry

Poet Wang Wei

·

Forget about the pain

It's like death forgetting the flesh

——

Why write poetry?

Everything is so dazzling —

All kinds of desires stand in the container of goods

All kinds of piano keys that we play through the world

One cannot forget the tides lifted up by the times

It is impossible to forget the tip of the wings of thought

There is still pain coiling

Those imaginary springs and fingers

Still from time to time to rip our bones open

Sip late!

There is still the wind blowing in the ears

There are still waves coming at you

The tree of memories

Still thinking about the rock formations

Cannot be stopped from growing

Your beautiful figure is spitting out flower buds

I decorate you with the last remaining sound of rain

Forget those who have fallen into disrepair
