The train grabbed the railing and ran in the dark;
Over the mountains, over the water, over the graves of the dead;
Crossing the bridge, listening to the wheezing of the steel cow,
Through the wilderness, through the ruined temple;
Across the pond, frogs play drums in the dark water.
No fire in the village passed through the mouth;
There are no passengers getting on or off at the small station with clear ice.
The platform is naked, like sin.
Then the groan of the car woke up the sky.
Three or two stars, hiding in the clouds and looking around;
What's that for? They want to know,
It was a cold night without rest, noisy and buzzing.
Like a bug, breathing is a flame,
When I died, I ran into the darkness regardless of the danger.
With these two narrow paths, this is a runway.
Carrying this heavy and dreamy weight.
Tired! Those strange and kind people,
Don't worry, leave them alone.
Juncun's life is entirely in his own hands.
Whether climbing mountains or low-lying,
Don't ask if there are strange birds cursing in the depths of the forest.
The magnificence of astronomical phenomena all points to destruction;
Just want to stare at it, open my mouth and snore,
When the bus arrives tomorrow, take your wallet and go!
What a nice attitude! Trouble has no bottom;
You and I are in the sky, and we won't rest that day.
Open your eyes and see everything.
But how can I control my life?
Say something about light, wisdom and eternal beauty,
We're in the same boat,
We just need you and me to outlive them,
This thing is a lake anyway.
Extended data
The poem "The train caught up with the tracks" was written in July 193 19, and was first published in the third issue of Poetry magazine on October 5, 65438/kloc-0, with the signature of Zhimo. Formerly known as "A Confused Account", it is Xu Zhimo's last poem.
Among all Xu Zhimo's poems, there are not many poems with two acts as one section, and "Catch the Railroad by Train" is the most prominent one. The change of rhyme is emphasized in the poem, and the rhyme forms of the whole poem fluctuate: ab, cd, ea, fg, ah, ij, kl, ge, and all of them are rhymes except for the three rhymes.
This poem has little to do with the "beauty of music" that Xu Zhimo has always advocated. It is only developed from the intake of senses and the description of phenomena, and at the same time it is mixed with ridicule and even irony, which makes his poems take on another look.
