Modern Poetry in Praise of August

Sorrow in August

Sorrow about August, Lin

The white ducks are swimming in the yellow pond.

Sorghum stalks are just too high, how can this beating heart get in, a narrow road in the field, this sadness in August.

Washed by rain last night, the hills were shadowed by the sun;

The sheep followed the shepherd into the village, and the manhole cover was under a big tree, like a heart!

No one ever said anything in August. Summer has passed, and it is not autumn now.

But when I look at the fields and the melons on the earth wall, I still don't understand how life is related to dreams.
