暮色

热爱命运


夕阳之光
止步于窗前
轮椅上白发苍苍的老人
目送院子遛狗的儿子
从他暗淡的目光中走远


Twilight

By Fate-lover


The sunset glow
Stops by the window
A grey-haired man in his wheelchair
Watches his son walking the dog across the yard
Fading from his dim gaze

同一片月光下

菩提花开


你口中的：玫瑰、白鸽，是不一样的
你不是亲历者。炮弹和烟花这两个词，
在不同的语境中找到各自的宗教。
如同，你用月光消解乡愁，他们用月光
安置：废墟、墓园、饥饿、哭泣。


Under the Same Moonlight

By Blooming Bodhi


The roses and the white doves upon your tongue are not the same
You are not a witness. The words shells and fireworks
Find their own religions in different contexts.
Just as you use the moonlight to dispel homesickness, they use the moonlight
To settle: ruins, cemeteries, hunger, and weeping.

致盲人

郭子


月亮，像一根羽毛
被风吹起
你辽阔的黑夜
以为它在那儿沉睡
或者，它从未降生


To the Blind

By Guo Zi


The moon, is like a feather
Blown up by the wind

Your vast night
Believes it is in a deep slumber there
Or, it was never born

采耳

打柴人


取掉门栓
为忠言留一条
通道


Ear Picking

By Woodcutter


Remove the door bolt
Leave a passage
For advice to enter

轻

苏格拉底


旅行者一号
驶离太阳系的时候
回头看了一眼地球。它看见
一粒灰尘
悬浮在太空中


Lightness

By Socrates


When leaving the solar system
Voyager 1
Casts a glance back at the Earth. It sees
A speck of dust
Suspending in space

妇科医生

钟灵


她的任务，只是把宫刮干净
她是个好医生。她刮啊刮
直到刮出婴儿的哭声

病历上，她也不忘如实记录：
“今日清除，某人的前半生”


Gynecologist

By Zhong Ling


Her task is merely to scrape the womb clean
As a good doctor, she scrapes and scrapes
Until an infant’s cry is heard

On the medical note, she does not forget to record truthfully:
“Today removed, the first half of someone’s life”

叫醒夏天

刘党


打个盹，被忽至的雷声唤醒
因为夜短，没做完的梦，依然没做完
隔着窗，听雨，听天空的呓语
雨停了，看虹，我醒了，天空没醒


Wake Up Summer

By Liu Dang


When dozing off, I’m awakened by a sudden thunder-clap
The night being short, my unfinished dream remains unfinished
Through the window, I listen to the rain, and the sky’s murmurs
As the rain ceases, I watch the rainbow. I’m awake, whereas the sky is still asleep

感悟

竹月


他一生只做两件事：
拆和建。

拆得是眼前的城，繁花与人。
建得是：内心与诗。


Awareness

By Zhuyue


He does only two things in his life:
Demolish and establish.

He demolishes: the city, flowers and people.
He establishes: soul and poetry.

家乡的特产

乔俊


打开车厢，一桶香油
两箱鸡蛋，三袋大米
都跑来和我诉说——
爹娘苍老的秘密


Hometown Specialty

By Qiao Jun


When I open the trunk, a barrel of sesame oil
Two boxes of eggs and three bags of rice
All come to whisper to me—
The secret of my parents’ aging

头皮屑

老陈醋


每个生命体，都是地球这颗
大脑袋上的头皮屑

恐龙的嘶鸣是昨天的——  我们在追忆
它的同时，正被风的手指
轻轻挠着


Dandruff

By Lao Chencu


Every living being is a flake of dandruff
On the Earth’s giant scalp

The dinosaurs’ neighing was from yesterday—as we reminisce
About them, we are gently scratched
By the wind’s fingers
