酷我-北美枫

[anna]

Outside the hospital,
hair sparse and short,
a grey wind coat swings your slim figure.
You ask me if I am lost,
who flew over the Pacific Ocean
to take you home.
You worry about my pale face,
not knowing yours, much more pale.
You comfort me,
"Look, finally I lost weight."

Yes. I am lost.
The city becomes a stranger.
Skyscrapers choke like cold dark forests-
No bird.
You hold my hands,
"I bought an apartment, come and take a look.”
It is a nice place with big windows.
You decorated it like a sunny garden.
I smile and pray for a miracle.
I was told the underground water here
has been contaminated, rice you purchased
and consumed for years is poisonous.
Sadly, you like all ordinary people are always the last to know.

Your room looks beautiful, remains the same
as the day you began chemo.
The wall will soon have
a framed black photo of you…
We are lost.

Now on the other side of the world,
I take a long walk in the meadow.
I see splendorous clouds, far and still.
Among them I see mountains and houses,
there you find your eternal home.
My dear sister, rest in peace.

When death is coming,
lock the door!

No one is home.
We don't play the "Knock" game.

But he finds his way,
seeping through the water pipe.

My sister runs in her dream,
her bed is tied to the wall.

I hear a sudden sigh,
as if the black bolt drops.

On my white sheet,
the night river flows.
