He has been lame and single all his life
Those passed away before him, senior or young
He did body cleansing, dressing and casketing for all of them
At his last moment, he dressed himself and laid down in his coffin
closing his eyes and said to himself: please someone close the door for me

我在左边,你在右边
孩子睡着了,就在我们中间
这样多好!一床被子就够了
三个梦都很温暖
Home

Me on the left, you on the right
Kids are asleep, right between us
How wonderful is this! One quilt is good enough
to hold the warmth of three dreams

One Household
by Dunhuang Feitian
Lamed grandpa, is cutting fire woods
Grandma, with chronic back pain, is preparing cooking fire
Mum and Dad are away as migrant workers
A seven year old girl is learning to write A, B, C on brick bed
A parrot is repeating, “I am thirsty, Dad”
The old man is fishing
This whole afternoon he has been sitting beside the Rong River
as still as stone ——
His figure, so much alike one bait casted by time
waiting for the sunset to bite on the hook
State news has been torn off by someone
Grains and veggies were taken by the ants as winter preserves
one begger picked up and creased it
kicked far far-away
as if he could kick away the bad weather as forecasted on it
结婚

妈妈说:是被骗
爸爸说是春风得意
女儿说是爱情
老祖母说:
是传宗接代
Marriage
by Dideng Zhiwu
Mum said, she was cheated
Dad bragged, he was just fulfilled and proud
Daughter said, it’s love
Grandma said,
it’s all about having later generations
