Old you
Pick it up in the aisle of years
child
Crying under the eaves of years
Understand the child's mother
I used to be a child who didn't understand his mother.
Mother is a steelyard.
Say that children's growth and
My own death
Finally, the child became a mother.
Mother became a memory.
A generation's time
Intergenerational segregation
Countless mothers live because of their children.
Countless children have become mothers
They died one after another.
Born one after another.
mankind
Only one tomb witnessed the mother's history.
Only a few words witnessed the sincerity of maternal love.
The child is still alive.
Mother passed away.
The height of this poem is different. Others express their thoughts and write them out from the little things in life. This poem is actually based on the premise of life and death. This shows the poet's extraordinary writing skills and thoughts.
This poem begins with an old mother, who should be a beggar, and this old beggar is a mother who feeds her children by picking up garbage. And the child is crying under the eaves, waiting for his mother to beg.
Then the children grow up to be other people's mothers and experience their own mothers from their own children, so the poet said/understand the children's mothers/never understand/mother's children/mothers are a steelyard/weigh the children's growth and/or their own death! Especially compare mother to a steelyard, with sophisticated brushwork and dignified thoughts! A few of us really understand mom, and this sentence makes us all feel distressed.
In the third verse of this poem, mother died. It's really rare that this poem goes deep in chronological order.
/Finally, the child becomes a mother/mother becomes a memory/a generation's time/the isolation of two generations/
When a child becomes a mother, it means that the child becomes the mother of others, and then the mother dies.
Pay attention to this sentence: one generation's time/two generations' isolation. How to understand the time of a generation? It should be a generation of children. The isolation between the two generations should be that the mother raised the child, but the mother died.
/Countless mothers live because of their children/Countless children become mothers/They die/are born one after another/
Humans/only one grave witnesses the mother's history/only a few words witness the sincerity of maternal love/
/The child is alive/the mother is dead/
Why do you want to combine these two paragraphs? Because they are inseparable. What moved me most were these two paragraphs. The poet seems to be watching from the grave. I hope that the living woman will write down the last paragraph and pass it on from generation to generation, and then look at these desolate graves, look at the epitaph and write down the meaning of the last paragraph of her mother.
Finally, the poet summed up the meaning of mother in one sentence-the child is alive and the mother dies.
This sentence can only be understood, and any language is redundant in front of this sentence. In fact, the poet just wants to tell us that maternal love is a kind of fulfillment. It is necessary to use the mother's life to fulfill the child. In the end, the mother died and the child lived. This sentence can't make us say anything, only that language and words are pale and powerless in front of mother!
