He stayed just one second on the balcony
looked shy, eyes full of innocence and transparency
and saw me, flew away with fear like a beautiful poetry line
being forgotten right after mentioned
disappearing into the wide and high sky
天衣无缝
作者：江文波
当年，他是这座监狱的总设计师
后来，自己被关进了这座监狱
出狱后，他说，我在监狱蹲了十年
才骄傲自己的设计，多么天衣无缝
连一滴眼泪，也漏不出来
Perfect Job
by Jiang Wenbo
Before, he was chief designer of this prison
After, there he himself was put in
I was behind the bar for 10 years, he said, after being freed
and even proud of his own design, what a perfect job done
not even one teardrop, could have escaped from it
留守妇女
作者：涛声
其实，村子里本来不缺男人
只是他们过年时才收工回家
平日里，没有男人的家里老鼠就多
老鼠多了，留在家里的女人就养猫
——可它们却不抓老鼠，只叫春
The Detained Women
by Tao Sheng
In fact, the village is never short of men
they only come back home during New Year's holidays
Normally, houses without men but a lot of mice
mice families grow fast, the detained women raise cats
-------- those cats never catch mice, but busy with calling and courtship
The government house is relocating
One giant rock in the courtyard, "serve the people" was carved on it
in great leader's handwriting. when being lifted a hook is falling onto the red characters
as if a huge question mark
墓志铭

这里躺着
一个一生都在追求
能够站着的人
Epitaph
by Xu Qinghe
Here lies
someone who tried his whole life
to stand as a man
长城
作者：张云方
一块叠着一块。千万块砖头
垒起的长城
没有一块砖头喊痛
也没有一块砖头，拥有自己的名字
The Great Wall
by Zhang Yunfang
One brick on top of another, tens of thousands of them
built up the Great Wall
none of the bricks shouted out in pain
none of them, even has a name
