Inscription on Stone

A stone pressing heart

Be breathed out, one breath

The suspicious stone

be polished, became a singing light

The satisfactory stone

growing in the fetus of scenery

Walking half of life

Knees bent countless times, having dropsy

The stones inside have been abrased, no soft at all

Inside

a suspicious thorn has also been growing

Fruit of Time

Use mud, water and sunlight

to exchange time

Pick interests up

at a noon

The person planting time

is only my grandmother having little sleep

Her youth

negating the growth of years

No villagers can be found in the fruit

No nationalist title

is trafficking sense of presence

A water well

got the eye and mind of God

How tall is it growing on the ground?

How vigorous

How deep is it going into the ground?

How spreading

The vase

in my grandma's lightning hair bun

growing organ

Crystal Metaphor

No impurity hidden

in that black crystal

The uniform black, reflecting white light outward

The white one

contains a little internal injury inside

A black fish scale, a tadpole tail

Blow a breath and they move about

Always the crystal

black or white

doesn’t hide itself and the world

Wipe out the dust of appearance

faint scratch

Light and eyesight, going into the crystal

No place to stay nor stopping

Go out and turn the legends about black and white into Gods

The internal injury of crystal

... the beauty of time

A person making metaphor for oneself

shouldering the cost

One Two Three

Yesterday picked up a handful of hope

Today sitting at the intersection of two roads

Tomorrow go to three places to choose chimneys to heaven

My buttock has been hot

The chair motioned me to leave

to give seat to the new 123 generations not loving standing

The old Moon bringing the Venus

Felling in front of the window

Already called me hello

Soon

Whether beautiful dreams or not

I'll see you soon under my buttock

Providence

The more God forgets

The more holes left

Put a patch and confess

Repair the bad becoming the good

Repair the good becoming better

The more God forgets

The more bad people have

Born to make patches for atonement

What does God forget to the end

Only the patches of history know

The smoke is flickering

No one can catch those good...

The stars in half the sky are snigger

Ideal Test Question

The sun climbing up the mountains

A train’s head going into the entrance

Wheels are flying in the tunnel

You take the percentage of your fate

Waiting for being dispatched

The sun setting down from the mountains

The tail of a train entering the entrance

Wheels are flying in the tunnel

You take the percentage of your fate

Almost returning to zero

Ask the sunset

At the opening of the other tunnel end

What is the situation?

Don't ask

It's not your carriage’s turn to go through

Try to withdraw real gold and silver

from waiting for fate

to buyout the forward direction of a day

(English translation: William Zhou)
