STUPID DAUGHTER Poem by Duo Duo

Dark night—dyes Mother's hair, clip clop,
Horses are approaching. Mother's coffin
Begins to dress her up.
Her shoes climb up the tree by themselves.
Her wind refuses to disperse, like iron.
The ending of Mother means

The winter is dissolving
from hatred.

Winter has completed its task of giving pressure.
The horses clip-clop, loudly blooming on the iron board.
On the earth polished by snow, wind says
Its cruelty is
Cruelty of another kind; it says
Things fleeing away to the sky are
Paralyzed in mid-air which is to say
Mother's life means
Ten toes breaking at the same time
Which is to say Mother is casting charcoals into fire
Which is to say Mother is casting her child, the stupid daughter
In sympathy with the ashes in the fire
Saying this is sin, which means:
'I will repeat!'
