Chapter 5 so you hear

so you hear what I said sometimes weak Like the footprints of seagulls on the beach. Necklace, Drunken Bells Watch my words from afar. More like yours than mine. Climb like ivy my old misery. Still climbing the damp walls. You deserve to be scolded for such a cruel game of yours. They escape from my dark lair. You are full of everything, full of everything. Once upon a time they occupied the silence you possessed, They know my sorrow better than you. now i want them to tell you I want you to listen, I want you to listen to me. The wind of pain dragged them, as it always did. Still sometimes knocked over by dreamy hurricanes.

In my voice of pain you hear other voices. Old mouths moan, old begs bleed. love me, mate.Don't turn your back on me, follow me. Follow me, mate, on the waves of pain. But my words are stained with your love. You own everything, own everything. I weave them into an endless necklace For your white hands, soft as grapes. Translated by Wang Yangle
