"If one day you see me bowing my head and being speechless" it is best to stay away from me

"If One Day"

If One Day

You see me bowing my head and being speechless

Sitting under the autumn branches and counting my fingers

Or the texture of a feather

Please don’t disturb me

And don’t mention the white clouds in the sky or the falcon to me

Better stay away from me

The further away the better

Stay away from the riverbed like water

Stay away from summer like cicadas

Me Just practice repeatedly under a tree

How to rely on smell and memory

In the clues of a leaf

Become a native again

————Excerpted from "An Aboriginal Afternoon" by the modern poet Yiwu

? "An Aboriginal Afternoon" is the second series of books by the modern prose writer Yiwu. This book records all the They are stories about people and things. Although the words are simple and interesting, they also promote humanistic feelings. This is the value of this book.

? Like most Yi poets, he did not forcefully write the Yi experience and Yi language habits into his Chinese poems. His poems took a different path. There is a kind of ridicule like a line drawing. It is not difficult to read the liveliness and erotic joy of the flash of inspiration in the poem, and you will also be aware of the relaxed and unpretentious tension with modern life in the text. color. The poems written by a poet from a minority ethnic group do not have the problems of being either restrained to the point of being pretentious, nor do they have the compassion that can spread to the world if they are not careful.

? Yiwu's poetry realistically describes the people coming and going between "city" and "village". Place names, people's names, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. can all become the themes of his poems accidentally. It is different from most of the deliberate piling up of "Bimo", "Suni", black and so on, which are defined as regional characteristics. or writers of ethnic idiosyncratic rhetoric.

"Nian"

It's a network

Spread inside the installation

Just put it away when it's good

The sown grains

The grains return to the warehouse

The visible year

Here it comes

——Yi calendar year (Excerpt)

? His poems do not have more gorgeous rhetoric, but more simple and unpretentious language, just like Yiwu’s self-commentary: "I am not a person who writes poetry. In fact, is a person who writes sentences.” He has successfully bypassed the emptiness that is easily drawn out of grand narratives, and instead walked into the delicacy of "fireworks". His poems have something to say, and the erotic writing in the sentences is subtle, tactful and not greasy, making it more real. It conveys the poet's unique insight into the human psychology and life details. This is seen in "Big Trousers", "Stockings", "I'm Waiting for the Moon", "Japanese", "Cheongsam", "Lipstick", "Tattoo", "Morning Exercise", "Cold", "A Cat's Tail", "The Tit And The Moon" and "Walnuts" 》 and other poems are particularly prominent.

"Cold"

It's not a matter of clicks

Even migratory birds don't trust their own feathers

So cold is cold

Not fire

Not cotton jackets and feathers

If you want not to be cold

it is best to go to the south

Go It’s useless in the south

It’s better to find someone to keep warm

The prerequisite is that you both have love

Otherwise

It will be cold

< p> Not bit by bit

Bit by bit

Cold to death
