MEMORIALS
1.River
Rain
Green leaves
Branches
Roots
Bluish panorama of wilderness
Fragrant herbs
Giggling streams
Its childish skipping
Youthful bosom basin
Green creepers on the bank.
Excited and wept
Merges with the sea in salty tears.
All are old stories
-Today, remains broken bridge,
The memorial of river.
2.Hill
Above the sea, below the sky
Wet in seasons
Like a gloomy tree in winter
Or reflecting sunshine.
Woods wrapped hilltop
Steep ups, steep downs
Black rocks
Creepers in serpent’s crawl in humus.
Engined carriers to remove earth’s layers.
Grumbling land levelers,
Excavators with proboscis.
Greedy men their invasions.
Its wounds,
Growing wounds to vacuum
-This stone,
The memorial of hill.
3. Forest
Opened the eyes to the sky in the wet air
Holding head and branches high, watchful trees.
Adorned by flora, the vales.
Melodious rhapsody of jungle’s heart.
Medicinal herbs
Reptile’s creep
Snarling tigers
Roaring lions…
Sweetly warbling birds
Butterflies as flowers
Then come wood-cutter’s teeth
Green blood stained saws
Trunks loaded trucks
Neatly cut wounds
Their piteous and silentious rings.
Bloody wheel tracks.
-This fossil,
The memorial of forest.
