    poetry-magazine圪料街

    By Yuan Xin
    一条小巷道，长220米，宽6.3米。
    26年前的早晨，席力图召西侧，
    骑着单车走过；10年前元宵节的夜晚，步行而过。
    “圪料街”遗址，瓦屋三间，坍圮的砖坯墙，
    立在大街正中，柏油马路到这里截断。

    poetry-magazine大河流淌

    By Guangzi
    大河流淌，一去千里

    我替一条大河无边无际的流淌

    可以告诉你，我是一个游牧民族的儿子
    我相信爱情和死亡是一种方式
    而这一切都只会…

    poetry-magazine时间开花了

    By Mo Fei
    仿佛白露之后满院的桂香。影子说话
    虎尾草说话，树上的葫芦提起来不出声

    出声就会拽我们笑我们。时间开花了
    结果在前面，又惊又喜却只有一次

    风声响彻屋顶。干干净净的字句
    隐去了两片树叶。田垄上的野莴苣

    不知道摇晃的玉…
