Four Poems of Liu Xi
Av Solfrid Elise Lindblom
I present you, Today
In Påfyll. Four poems
Of mine. Under the pseudonym
Liu Xi
Ptheumesro
Liu Xi
I am the one who brings the spark
They say Father
It is an omen of death
You will perish in the prosperity of blaze
Since then I have been burning Sky
Like a lion shredded and dead
It is the color that has fall
Fall o Fall
It is the Sun
That I have found
_
Liu Xi
Like my home a moon grows
Out of gray and concrete blocks
In the memories my home has grown
On the yellow soil telling stories from the fallen old
Since when has it become
Become red and become gray
Become aloud and become mum
Spring
Liu Xi
Digging some hastily thawed soil in spring
Like digging out some misery
A whole winter’s filthy is hidden here
At the moment of production retreat should a man
Stepping on the shattered ice floes without hesitation
It is black water that
Squeezed from leather and mother’s flesh
It is from black where spring starts
Some wind chimes and marigolds I have seen
Between black and colors are connections that may flee
They belong to mother and spring
That is when I smashed the spring
A Reaping Watcher
Liu Xi
Lining is already finished before reaping
Standardization is the first step in mass producing
“You!” the camouflage speaks
“Get off the freaking truck and stand over there!”
Caterpillar type, 4 cylinders, 8kw, 2600r/min
Cutter’s length is 6000mm. Width set as 2mm
Because they are wheat
A language’s divided into two
The crowd through header auger squeezed
While wheat gets into its stride of reaping
Six of them line the street
To the drum by conveyor, ears are led for threshing
Beyond the camouflage, still there
Are more camouflage. Combined into one
With more ears and more than one
Three steps of threshing until proficiency. Loading, shouldering
And finally ordering
The camouflage kicks and turns
“Move the shits You!”
The fan fans the straws and the chopper chops
People scattered now are great fertilizer tommor
“How much disposed today?”
Breathes out a smoke wreath the camouflage asks
“Feeding quantity: 18kg, working time: 6hrs, working area: 3acres.”
Another camouflage answers standing next to the fallen wheat. Maybe around sixty
Production per acre lower than 3000kg, since bleeding
Also weighs.
