Artificial And Rotten

older man always chosen president until ilness
and never talks about coruption, collution of his cronies
change with another generation,
who talk reformation, but the otherside to become thief too
to seek salvation their self
from another harrasment.

Awaiting You

I await
in sittingroom

awaiting you come
with the boisterous chest
but you do not come
until day

so I do repeatedly
with the boisterous chest
but you do not come
until my hand tremble

jolt heart
in my chest
do not willing to desist
until you come

The White Cloud

I saw white clouds moving
all over the sky
cloud spread
spread hope
rainfall and growing season
soon
million smiles of labour fields
sow the seeds sow hope
millions of people
the swinging arms
sweating please
can eat today
I do not know tomorrow

The Fish Hook

My father
holding fish-hook
hooking bait
throwing of it to sea

in that bridge
its angle line is moving quickly
big fish eating bait
in its fish-hook

or only crab
making a fool of bait
in its fish-hook
or chance

which is making a fool
of him'self

Storm

storm yesterday afternoon
knock down pine trees
damaging flowers
telephone poles
electric poles
shake the pillars ad
colorful neon lights
people in the streets shivering
cold
tremble
hunger
everyth ing becomes chaos
Sad heart
when many women
and the children crying

In the Dark Train

in the dark train
when its lamp extinguish
I sit alone
when a have jacket
sit the casquette at elbow
me immediately
I move when feeling
he grope the my hand finger
what have ring to gold
in darkness
just there is
one who exploit
the opportunity
to profit ownself

The Broken Sky

In telephone
my daughter told
earlier rain with the storm
along with crystal ice
threw the pot to the high road
threw the sheet of the neighbour house roof
broke the branch tree
slaughtered branch fell on a pair of couple
to seven grade sky
that already broken

Here I Stranded

that silent
noiselessly
even voice the wind fizz even also
inaudible
by my ear
by myself
by myself stand up ashore
looking into wave
effervesce to kiss the coastal sand
noiselessly
without wave
what slaping wall
heart
my love plump
what is stranded
here.

Dizziness

so easy dizzy
in a noisy
so alienated
in a place so crowded
dizziness and alienated
make us prisoners
in modern culture
I hobbled made
crashing within
a gnawing age
loss of meaning
as a human
as if entangled
the centrifuge storm
wrapped around
various issues
irreducibly

Lizard Fall

lizard fall
above my head
when we
sit both
in sittingroom
that night
her ters dropp
roles on her cheek
hue
befalled by a light
full moon moonlight
its head
bowing
drawn
when
I told her
my father die
this afternoon
