Several Short Poems

Turn off the light,

In darkness,

How large the world is.

 

By X. Z. Shao

 

熄了灯，

黑暗里，

世界大得出奇。

Are you in light.

As you walk up to the mountaintop,

So go you down into the cavern.

正如你走上山顶，

你也要深入洞窟。

Monkeys
By X. Z. Shao

 

In the bleak winter

when leaves, flowers, fruit are rare,

they enjoy themselves

by dangling among trees,

doing somersaults in the air

and screaming to each other.

I woke up here in China

By X. Z. Shao 

I woke up here in China

while my friend told me

he was about to go to bed

in Netherland via Wechat.
