Description
Zhaohui Su offers a short poem titled The Final Communication, published in 2025. Its lines are terse, often just two words, set in loose stanzas. Early lines name delirious talks, darkening faces, unsettling moans, and stormy cries. The air itself is called elegiac, as if the end can be sensed. A sense of a deathbed scene runs through the piece.
Later stanzas turn to fixating glances, impossible squeezes, and enigmatic gestures that are almost words. Silence, the speaker says, may reveal true intentions below. Cascading sighs and upsetting commotions follow. Uninitiated passers by face a confrontational sunrise. The poem closes with a parting charge. Go, things will be fine, it says, and move on fast, we will be fine.
