The Fake Sun and the Paper Moon

As a child, Xi Yu learned paper-cutting from her grandmother.

She pasted bright red paper on pale purple furniture.

In an old house made of packed earth, she cut out the stars of the universe.

When she grew up, someone compared her to a star.

But she was never

someone's unforgettable love,

nor anyone's one and only.

-

The sun is fake.

The moon isn't real, either.
