My poem

You may no longer find any poetry magazines, but please be assured, poets are still around. We are just hiding, in our poems.  

 

A deaf hike

徒步十英里
大湖好像一匹恬静的马
大山客观的反映时间地点人物
人间嘈杂
新闻好像一盘假的辣子鸡
百分之九十五辣子五的鸡

 

The lost imagination

我在窗口种下了薄荷 一夏 

想象力长出来了

树上蹲了不少鹿

花店门口摆起冰激凌

我拿着大喇叭乱搞头发

 

不幸的是 想象力被我一一扼杀

不不 那不是鹿角是树枝

不不 那不是冰激凌是纸包的鲜花

不不 这不是喇叭是吹风机

 

由此可见

想象力和知识背道而驰

知识是想象力的墓志铭

 

孩子以她们极有限的知识贡献了极大的想象

而我们只有看向未知的夜空

才能看到兔子蝎子unicorn (call back)

我默默摘下一片饱满的薄荷叶

让mojito去灌溉我们的

知识

The rules

 

To understand the seasons,

I ask a duck in the river

Is the water warm yet?

I whisper to a flower on the sidewalk,

What’s your name?

I refuse to look at my calendar

or ask Alexa,

Those are rules.

 

To understand the city,

I climb the tallest tree in Central Park,

I walk the darkest tunnel in Brooklyn,

I avoid Rockefeller Observatory

or the Edge of Hudson Yards.

Those are rules.

Thanksgiving

感恩节

风铃在唱

落叶急匆匆赶去同一个地方

松果笨拙的滚在落叶的队尾

我拽住一个松果的衣衫

就是拽住了秋天的尾巴

 

Dog view 

我出去遛小秋

一点也不冷,

一点也不热,

空气透着清凉,

但是又很舒润,

松树和各种花草散发合力散发出了沁人心脾的香味。

夕阳照满了天,

排排的云朵有各种蓝黄和粉色的结合。

我和小鬼以自己的步速,

共同和天上的苍鹰一起在人间翱翔,

虽然手脚还没有飞起来,

但是幸福已经满堂。

 

The choice

A random light in the darkness

Shaped as an aloe

Is it relevant

Maybe not

But that light provides warmth to a spiderweb

 

Days can’t be brighter than this

Where the aloe light is swallowed by the sun

And a fallen leaf trapped by the spiderweb

Because leaf doesn’t have eyes

Or does it

Maybe the leaf also wants a warm hug

at night

 

Youth

可能有一种理论可以解释这一切突如其来

可能有一天我们可以慢慢得再谈起今天

可能有一场夏雨可以唤醒青蛙挖洞的秋

一场暴雨头上出现的红伞

一块穿越时空交响的怀表

那么大了

青春

还在帮我燃烧着天空

那么晚了

夏天

一吻入秋

 

The will (copyright reserved by a heavy metal band) 

As someone suicidal

I don’t care about this life

Less care about my

left-overs

For whoever lands their hands on my property, just

Burn your lives to the ground with your greed

Or burn light of hope for kids

Or burn through the fortune and die

Or burn into your memory with my art

Or burn out grieving me

Oh my will is just to burn

To burn ---

 

Whose daughter

Female, Diagnosed with

Severe anxiety and severe depression

ADHD and suicidal

Osteoporosis and high cholesterol,

Sleeping disorder and past sexual trauma

 

My parents will not come forward to claim this patient as their daughter,

because their daughter is

 

Sunshine of their life,

Hope of the family,

Smart and positive

Healthy and earned sports medals

Confident and take the world with no fear

 

She is successful and thriving in every aspect of her life and

Nothing like the failing patient above

 

How long does it take to travel from Hangzhou to Beijing

一阵惊吓之后

飞机在暴雨后落地

北京本来是个刚烈的汉子

我一脚踏在停机坪的汪洋上

好像撞见了李煜

云一涡

玉一梭

澹澹衫儿薄薄罗

再忍一忍这一车的南蛮之音

外面有一城的字正腔圆等着我

我开起车窗

闻了闻北京暴雨后的婉约

想那时最高速的交通渠道

京杭大运河

从钱塘到京需要一月半余

今天我们只用了十二小时

嫌慢的辱骂声仍不绝于耳

 

2 dollar mug

末路女司机

有强降水的酒量

脱俗的服饰

盖不过她换胎

意大利移民第三代

有天蝎的细虐精心

百磅的哑铃

盖不过他眉眼

 

二手店瓷杯

靛青和湖蓝之间

好像捧了西湖回家

杭州 这个庆元人眼里的大城市

和美国人只能解释离上海一小时

这个我没什么感情的地方

被我以两元的价格

放在了过夜的忧愁上面

 

Life expectancy

I paid double to the fortune teller who

Predicted I would die at 36

With an average age of 98

My grandma and her living siblings

Have paved my very high life expectancy in front of me

It’s unfortunately a life sentence for real

For someone suicidal
