Information theory implies that constraints (rules, rhyme) should lower entropy (predictability), which usually means lower information content. However, in poetry, these constraints actually force the creation of more, not less, meaningful and dense information.
我都带走了
我能一把抓住的曾经
冬日里
寥寥几笔的树梢上
已经没有什么东西
再能被吹落

如果我们有狐狸尾巴,
而不用说话。
它会耷拉着还是摇摆着?
在冬日清晨的霞光,
一团一团化开的时候,
它饱满、蓬松、自洽,
轻轻地拂过几片雪花。
或是潮湿、稀疏、倔强,
粘在隔夜的冰块上,
疼痛得无法自拔。

今年尝试写的8/6拍歌词!
看起来,在那里
想要我,走过去
白的光,铺满地
用嘴吹,用嘴吸
旧伤口,干涸了
缝不住,新缝隙
笑一下,事到如今
月光下,谁的情
一小块,一大块
不平整,像陨石
放不下,抬不起

两棵树在风中讲笑话,
一棵被逗笑了,
就沙沙作响。

春天,开始了吗?
去年的春风,系着
今天的暖阳,
挂在胸口。
披头散发的树木,
倦意,在手心反复摩梭。
侥幸走过的钢索,
你又要回头 抓紧了吗?
牵绊,是春天的伤口。

上一回春天来看我,
我把我们喝剩的啤酒泡沫,
收集起来挂在了树梢上。
等到春天走了,
人们对着天空悄悄叹气的时候,
忽然吹起了许多,
婆娑摇曳的泡沫。
--- isawa 2022.3.20
夕阳经过了,
像是今天的末班车。
我要在几分钟内决定,
是否也追赶着跳上车,
轰隆隆地,
开进崭新又绮丽的明天。
可是回头望望,
今天的纠结还没有解开,
所以留了下来,
再等等下一班。

This is my bear "大熊", looking out the window of the 2nd apartment we stayed together in Seoul.
失眠了
最近夜晚总悄悄把我抛弃
天明了又倔强地把我拽起
捏出各种形状的云
在天上挂了一会儿
然后塞进夕阳下
那些蜿蜿蜒蜒的缝隙
又被缝合了
我的心

出门走到转角
闻到了 蛋卷的味道
好香
你说 嗯,但有点
Artificial
太浓烈,却纷扰
就好像是曾经的谁
给过的
虚情假意的味道

My coffee has one more shot,
To bitter the garden dirt.
The sky is miles streaked,
The ants are choked on rain dust.
I am emptied, like a tree trunk.
Please,
Strike me a chord atonic,
Shoot me a video tape blank.
So I may find you less adorable,
So in this world,
One less would die of heartbreak.

I am a little copycat,
Copy every taste in your beer platter,
And the soft or hard in your cheese plate.
Copy your sleeping pills,
So I have the same dream.
Copy your eyeshadow,
So I have the same sorrow.
And copy the gash between your fingers,
So I may, have the same hollow.
I am copy-pasting, copy-pasting,
Until one day you have to go,
I shall erase me using a rubber.

You are a tall tree with no bark.
It's hard for me,
To leave a mark.
So I stayed,
Like a Spanish moss,
Hanging on you all day long.
--- isawa 2020.4.10
Sea and fog,
Know my secret,
But he doesn't.
Maybe my chord,
is totally white,
So he couldn't.
Where to put it,
My hanging obsession,
Then I shouldn't.
How to start,
When to forget,
In sea and fog.
--- isawa 2020.3.2
Half of the sky,
Changed its color.
Like half of the sky,
Already had a clue.
Sorry I can't fold,
The distance in space,
The difference in time,
Your long long shadow,
In half.

彩虹来了又走了
风筝起飞又降落。
她们,都忘了带走我。
The rainbow once came here,
Now has gone.
She forgot to take me,
Thought, here I belong.
My dangling heart, my absent lung.
Whom here I belong to,
I guess none.
