Sunflower field

Ciboloto by Roy Gu

Ciboloto

Miss Yang gone to the Western Hemisphere
never been back since
seeds on her desk have sprouted
and grown into a sunflower field
where people in love go
and get lost and can’t see each other
and the sun is about to set
and all the birds fly away
a man standing on the roof
he wants to fly into the sky
and suddenly it rained heavily
it made him cry
stars fallen into the sea
the sky is pitch black
there is light on the ship in the distance
that says it won’t go out
