Dreams of the Tapping of a Typewriter

A Poem by Kuo Yisheng

Dreary, heavy, lost, and cold
Reaching for the growing mold
I feel them bite my arms and back
Needles sprouting in my bones
Key misplaced I pick the latch
Surely they'll say the record turns
Omit the skips, and the scratches
Most of the truth, it has been burned
Excavated from the lattice
Growing mold, it is emboldened
All the while I am scolded
Set ablaze your heart still cold and
Omit the skips, scratches, and burns
Leave your face on, but be warned
I'm not the one that you have scorned
No need to worry about me when-
Everything you did will always be with you
