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
