The Life-or-death Contest
-------------------------
Time
Is a frightened rabbit
Fleeing rapidly
Through the bushes
Dazzled hunter
Moves back beside rabbit's hole
Worrying about
Liquor

Pain
-------
How many leaves are counted off in a single day
By a tree with sense of pain ?
How many days needed to count a tree naked?
How many hairs are counted white in a single year
By a head with sense of pain?
How many years needed to count a head white?
The circular saw of time chops into.
How many sawteeth work silently?
How many circles needed to saw off the sense of pain?

Sea Vexation
------------
Chilly, gloomy sea in the night.
Whose light is so bright?
It lured my shoals of fish away!
Busy, hazy sea of people.
Your smell is too strong,
It makes me lose my way.

Getting There
-------------
The communicating pipelines
have been blocked.
no more hypnotic
information transportation.
Hollow green bamboos
embracing weight
befall
on top of sanctuary.
The characteristic details
are solidified. Until
rays of dawn
paint cool lotus leaves.
On the lotus with
connivance of crocodiles,
the alert has been
cleared.
Original questions
are insignificant now.
The delicious liquid bursts
into day jasper lake.

The Saint Walking Down from Heaven
-------------------------------------
Out of window, honey peaches are receiving the infiltration of night dew,
the roots of the peach tree are sucking terrestrial gravity.
The peach stones wrapped up by flesh and blood
emit dim rays.
The branches of the peach tree open wet cobweb, for capturing
the saint walking down from heaven, and
carving wooden sympathetic chord
on shaking crown of the tree.
In the window, the chandelier is the hanger of honey peaches,
the fragrant of peaches turns into sugarcoated bullets in rectilinear motion,
the shadow hiding behind the body couldn't be hurt
because of timidity.

YX Without Natural Enemy
---------------------------
YX without natural enemy
Occupies post-dinosaur lands.
YX extends into vehicles,
Rolling the lands and islands.
YX extends into boats and submarines,
Overthrowing the rule of Dragon King.
YX extends into aircraft,
Capturing the sky of birds.
YX extends into
Machines, cutting in workshops;
Outer-space-hands, selecting the rocks of Mars.
YX extends into nuclear weapons,
Being ready to eliminate all of YX any time.
YX extends into excavators, digging
Graves secretly for YX
On wastelands.
*YX--Human being

To Liberate the Chickens
------------------------
Silently, rebels liberate the chickens
remained after the King's pillage, and conspire to enter the palace
to pound the eggs, the King's plunder,
to pieces.
The ropes
had been put on fire.
If the chickens want to run away,
they can run away.
The rebels slip into the seraglio. The tables of delicious chicken feast
kept for the King
occupy the hot fragrant
seraglio.
While music of the feast playing, the rebels slip into the secret room
of the seraglio. Liquid chicken bursting out
of broken shell, sticky
like seminal fluid.

Hollow Moon
-------------
Pursue the Moon in the mountains
Of cloud, riding the wind wildly
Through vast sky.
Wailing as a song,
Sobbing as singing.
The cold stars on the firmament
Are covered with Tears.
The mountains of cloud are undulating
Convulsively.
The bright moon is getting
Farther and farther,
Sometimes it hides,
Sometimes it appears.
Sing sorrowfully in spaciousness,
To encourage myself
By myself.

Ants Climbing Trees
--------------------
The durable gums fear age. Bitter cold invites fragility
to stimulate the passion. Untitled icicles
refuse to stay in the heart
of darkness any longer.
Annoying chaos, sinking into yellow papers,
negotiate the creation very hard, and
sometimes release
legendary mist.
The ants of words, discarding ant-eaters
finally, climb tall trees, to help
leafless branches to beat
the weepy wind of winter.

Looking Out
-----------
Nipping a dim rose, light green
Buried endless pale.
Along flowing courses
rain drops filled up
the meshes
of window-screen,
Sping sceney of light green
viewed from the attic
was obstructed,
dim and broken.
Bitten ring finger broken in broken green, recalls
The freezing pain of snow in winter, surprisingly.
