The wall has peeled off
The shadows sketched by the lamp light
A spider
Has enmeshed the past events left over the warmer end of the brick bed
The rusty door lock
Is oblivious of
What a key looked like
Breaking through night's
fence
Neighing
You blaze a trail at dawn
With your iron hoofs
Kicking up clouds of dust over eight hundred li
Like a steed unbridled
You gallop all by yourself and consequently are joined by a drove
Only to be intercepted by a shower
Men working outside as migrate workers in the village
Upon the crowing of cuckoos
Are all summoned to return
Sickles let go of a lot of worries
Having taken off its old garments
Wheat lies naked on thrashing grounds beside the village
Frogs sing antiphonal love songs around the pond
With a bark on the pillow at night
One falls asleep
Like a hungry tiger
Opening your bloody mouth
You have swallowed up
One village after another
Steel bars seem to be elongating and growing rampant on the earth
High-rise buildings
Like monuments
Have buried
A big pile of past events
One bite at a time
You have eaten up
Darkness
Like an earthworm
You all by youself
Shuttle along the line drawn by destiny
And weave a net
With which you enmesh someone's soft smile hovering on her lips while she looks up
An occasional encounter has become something weighing on mind all your life
