“A Picture” by Bei Dao -
[1]
for Tiantian’s fifth birthday
[2] Morning arrives in a sleeveless dress - personification morning
[3] apples tumble all over the earth - apples - unlimited possibilies, symbolism
[4] my daughter is drawing a picture
[5] how vast is a five-year-old sky
[6] your name has two windows
[7] one opens towards a sun with no clock-hands
[8] the other opens towards your father
[9] who has become a hedgehog in exile
[10] taking with him a few unintelligible characters
[11] and a bright red apple
[12] he has left your painting
[13] how vast is a five-year-old sky
