On Tomb-Sweeping Day's Prose Poems

Tomb-Sweeping Day's prose poems are as follows:

Rain on Tomb-sweeping Day

Land buried deep in loess.

Missing is connected with all the waters in Qian Shan.

Now the wind broke the rain.

Gently shake from the tip of the blade.

It's everywhere.

Withered flowers.

Hanging from a branch.

It's a long story to count.

Pale yellow dyed the other shore.

The lonely house is overgrown with weeds.

Time flies in the wilderness.

The drizzle wet several lines of footprints.

Pedestrians are anxious to ask where to go.

Time makes a glass of wine.

Trying to get drunk.

A shepherd boy who plays the flute.

Gradually disappear.

Who ferry who direction.

In the inscription, there is a farewell.
