I love you
Live helplessly, bucket water, cook, take medicine on time everyday
Put myself inside when sunny, like placing a piece of dried orange peel
Rotate the flavored teas I drink: chrysanthemum, jasmine, rose, lemon
These beautiful things seem to lead me on a path to spring
So I press down the snow in my heart repeatedly
It is too white and too close to spring
Read your poems in the clean yard. A love affair in this world
In a trance as if those fleeting sparrows
While time clean and bright. Not a moment to let sorrow dice my visceral organs
If I send you a book, I won’t send poems
I want to send you a book about plants, about crops
Tell you the difference between rice and cockspur
Tell you a cockspur’s anxious and fearful
Spring
我爱你
余秀华
巴巴地活着，每天打水，煮饭，按时吃药
阳光好的时候就把自己放进去，像放一块陈皮
茶叶轮换着喝：菊花，茉莉，玫瑰，柠檬
这些美好的事物仿佛把我往春天的路上带
所以我一次次按住内心的雪
它们过于洁白过于接近春天
在干净的院子里读你的诗歌。这人间情事
恍惚如突然飞过的麻雀儿
而光阴皎洁。我不适宜肝肠寸断
如果给你寄一本书，我不会寄给你诗歌
我要给你一本关于植物，关于庄稼的
告诉你稻子和稗子的区别
告诉你一棵稗子提心吊胆的
春天
