Chapter 2 sorrow in august
White ducks swim in the yellow pond,
The sorghum stalks are so green that they are just over the head,
How does this beating heart fit,
A narrow road in the field, this sorrow in August?
The sky was washed by the rain last night, the hills
Leave another shadow in the sun;
The sheep follow their herders into the village,
The well is covered under the shade of a big tree, and it looks like a heart!
No one ever said anything about August,
Summer has passed, and it is not autumn yet.
But I look at the ridges of the fields, the melons on the earthen walls,
I still don't understand how life is connected with dreams.
