a child carrying flowers walks toward the new year
a conductor tattooing darkness
listens to the shortest pause
...
Debasement is the password of the base,
Nobility the epitaph of the noble.
See how the gilded sky is covered
...
I want to go to the other bank
The river water alters the sky's colour
and alters me
...
Lovers holding pits in their mouths
make vows and delight in each other
till the underwater infant
periscopes his parents
...
wolves of music weave their way at a run
hawthorns wheeze with clandestine laughter
turning a new leaf, tide's out
...
for Shanshan
The wave of that year
flooded the sands on the mirror
to be lost is a kind of leaving
...
a sower walks into the great hall
it's war out there, he says
and you awash in emptiness
you've sworn off your duty to sound the alarm
...
in Ramallah
the ancients play chess in the starry sky
the endgame flickers
a bird locked in a clock
...
at the end of a perfect day
those simple people looking for love
left scars on twilight
...
