Lord

By Bai Hua

The vast expanse of cool breeze, did you mention Oriental thing?
Lord! That man made too many enemies while he going out.

Lord!  The bad omen was a warning, and the horse knew it.
Lord!  Laozi was a ripple amongst the sea, a woman lightly as leopard

Lord! This blue is so definite, as Eileen Chang
Lord! This blue is so trustable, as Li Ya-wei

Lord! This blue is brushing our faces, as Gu Cheng!
Thus, "the cicadas have a feeling coffinlike?"

Lord! There's a crane with a poem on it
Lord! Because actresses dress in military uniform

Lord! But the winter makes people feel young,
Lord! But the New Year arrives on New Year's Day.

天

柏桦

万斛凉风，说的是东方吗？
天！男子出门便树敌七人。

天，预示恶兆，马已知晓。
天，老子淡若海，女子淡若豹

天，蓝得肯定，张爱玲
天，蓝得信你，李亚伟

天，蓝过来了，顾城！
“知了有棺材的味道”？

天！仙鹤身上竟佩有诗笺
天！因为女演员戴着领章

天，惟有冬天使人年轻，
天，惟有新年始于元旦。
