TZEMIN ITION TSAI

THE MEMORIES UNDER THE STARRY NIGHT

Lying down with a lazy delight

Combing the grass under the back

I select an easy-to-dream posture

Close eyes and prepare to be carried by the stars

Enter that space

An infinite number of times larger than any memories

Memories rushing side by side

Imperceptibly and regular

Not fast but not slow either

No time to catch the families has passed away

They have drifted away all

Can only blame how merciless my memories are

Even to be detached as tears brim over

In the trance, do not know who woke me up

Memories were all recovered, none left a bit

Next time, as the stars call me again

Have been determined to

Prepare a dark airtight bag

Like a night wandering thief

SOLITUDE ALONG THE LAKE SHORE

White flowers all the way to the ground

Hands full

Bending into a maze of hard to cover

Until the lake appears quietly dotted with lotus

All openings on the shore with a smile

Paulownia alone with that lonely shadow

Tree, full of the whole mountain, all are dense clusters

No one was isolated

Except it

Perhaps

Sighted the elegance belongs to the lake

Do not mind that mockery of lotus

Perhaps

Fell in love with the small fish in the lake

Ghost spirit fine look

Left alone here for a million years

That reflection like a swaying tower

But the tower does not bloom

And it

Did not miss a year wanton white flowers full tree

In short after May

Separate hands to send flowers into the pool

Safely sit under the tree

Like a polar

That pair of damselflies looking at each other

Can’t bear to leave

DANDELION

Issues! Issues!

Basilica of the wind blowing again

Not because of noon near

the voice gradually disappeared

Dandelion petals flying

Flying over those clenched fists

look forward to

open the palms of your hands

Start counting numbers

Yes

Let the numbers replace the protests of the noise

From the initial point of democracy

Fragile grid paper

Clasped in the hands of each voters

Dandelion fluttering

The petals fly over the fists

Everyone looked up

cheer

With their second hand

Cast a sacred one vote

Simultaneously

Dandelion has been floating on the roof

Counting! Ccounting!

Wind back to the hills with a tired

Lay down on the turf

Dandelion forgot to follow

She stayed in the palace of democracy

Waiting for billing results

She started

Sing loudly

The voice is spread over the valley

Disturb the birds, the wind and the trees in the rest

WHY IS MY SKIN DARKER UNDER THE MOONLIGHT?

When I walk in the puddle

People said

that frightened frogs stampede

over the shadow of the moon in the lake

The night was so quiet today

When i climb up the shore

Back to find that it deep as a lake

Like the endless sky

Looking at the past boundless

Such a little water is extremely vast in my eyes

As opposed to my small body

As opposed to my small body

I bowed to lift a lotus leaf

Found that its roots have become mud

Dyed a whole pool of water

Seems to forget to flow

I was scared to jump back

Under that very luminous silence

I have not heard any signs of disturbance

Except the slowly blowing breeze

As opposed to my frightening heartbeat

As opposed to my frightening heartbeat

Autumn night

sometimes the same as in the spring

Keep the water warm

The moon reads like a long melancholy

Why do you have to hang your heart?

Even my skin looks so dark

under the moonlight

I walk away

But keep my head high

I wave my hand

But do not care at all

I heard the thunderous laughter of

my companions behind sounded everywhere

I heard the thunderous laughter of

my companions behind sounded everywhere

WIND, YOU HAVE TO FLY SMOOTHLY

Oh!  When the sun hovering over hillside

Wind shaking the tree shadow

How to up to you

Just do not say want to go together

Oh!  Red flower opened in full on the hillside

White Butterfly Dream youth everywhere

When the wind blows smeared red lipstick

Do not only care about keen on pleasing

Forgot patrol the fields

Oh!  The former hill can’t compare with the back hill

So beautiful

Always secretly waiting

Must not be

Recall with nostalgia halfway water

Wind, you have to fly smoothly
