Modern Poetry Alley

Alley

Sloping old roofs

Shivering in the cold

The lips of the wooden door are tightly closed

The grinding sound is faint

The gray magpie chirps

The door creaks open

Someone is coming, someone is coming

An old woman who has been crying all night

A mute throat

Leaning weakly on the decayed doorpost

An old woman who has experienced many vicissitudes of life

Awakening from an endless nightmare

His hands touched the moss on the corrugated tiles

The dark and mottled tiles fell in a panic

The last drop of hope at dawn Sunbathing on the wall

Crowds of mourners filed past

Someone returned to his eternal home

The chain holding her door was broken

Her basket for holding garbage broke

Her bucket for collecting water broke into eight pieces

The knotted well rope

dug out the stone railing A series of dents

Her time has come, and she will return to her eternal home

Like the morning wind unintentionally raising dirt, filling the void

She didn't say a word when she left

She just left her tearful eyes

Abandoned in the dirt of the world
