TO KILL A BIRD

The best way to kill a bird,
no matter if it cries out or resists,
you just write down, a little bird sings.
No matter if it curses or weeps,
you only write, the little bird sings.
No matter if it begs or moans,
you write, a little bird sings.

磨铁诗歌奖·2023年度最佳诗歌100首|周长风《杀死一只鸟儿》入选理由:诗里的意思好，写得聪明灵巧。在重复叠加的隐喻中，传递出强烈的批判性。诗人有态度，有愤怒，有批判，但却不是扯着嗓子喊出来，而是用如此生动的方式，写得发人深省。(磨铁读诗会/沈浩波)
