Chapter 30 "Train Catch the Rails"

"Train Catch the Rails" The train catches the rails and runs in the night: Over the mountains, over the water, over the graves of the dead: Crossing the bridge, listening to the barking of steel-framed cows, Through the wilderness, through the ruined temple; Across the pond, a group of frogs drumming in the black water, Through the silent village, not a single fire is seen; Passing through the ice-clear station, there are no passengers up and down, The platform exposed its belly, like sin. At this time the moan of the car awakened the sky Three or two stars, hiding in the gaps in the clouds and watching;

What was that for, they wondered, The big cool night is non-stop, making noise and humming, A worm-like one whose breath is fire, A dead child rushes into the dark, regardless of danger, Just relying on the narrow two roads, they are the rails, Carrying this heavy, dream-like burden. Tired!Those strangely good people, Sleep peacefully and leave them alone The life of Jun's village was entrusted to it. Whether climbing a mountain or a low-lying area, No matter there are strange birds in the deep forest cursing, The celestial splendor all leads to destruction; Just trying to get by, snoring with a big mouth,

As soon as the car arrives tomorrow, grab your purse and walk! This attitude is also good!Worry has no bottom; You and I are in the sky, we don’t rest that day, Open your eyes wide, you can see everything clearly, But how could he control his destiny? Say what light, wisdom and eternal beauty, Suffering on the same line with each other, It's just that you and I live longer than them, Anyway, this thing is a mess. ① For July 19, 1931, it was first published in the third issue of "Poetry Magazine" on October 5 of the same year, signed by Zhimo.This poem was originally called "A Piece of Confused Tent", which is Xu Zhimo's last poem.
