黑夜的远方，是梦境

薇薇


黑夜的远方，是梦境
窗户好像站台，把我们搁在两边
它在屋外恪尽职守，沉默安静
于是，我可以在地球诞生之初看第一场落雪，极地里看彩虹
为即将睡去的昨夜送去了一本我的旅行手记


The Distant Night Is a Dream

By Weiwei


The distant night is a dream
The window is like a platform, leaving us on either side
It’s dutiful and silent outside the house
So I can witness the first snowfall at the dawn of the Earth, see rainbows in the polar regions
And send a travel journal to the sleepy yesternight

不婚不育

半寸


主人认为驴马的利用价值
还不够充分
于是，它们的下一代
就被逼成了骡子


Unmarried and Childless

By Bancun


The master believes that donkeys and horses
Are not exploited to the full
Thus their next generation
Are forced into mules

中秋夜

忠民


大圆桌摆着三副碗筷
我说多盛了一碗饭
你母亲说也许你突然回来
我把月饼掰成两半
和着月光吃一半冰箱里收一半


Mid-Autumn Night

By Zhongmin


Three sets of bowls and chopsticks are placed on the large round table
One more bowl of rice than needed, I say
Your mother says you might come back suddenly
I break the mooncake in half
Eat one half with the moonlight and store the other half in the fridge

野草

尘凡无忧


他们是生命，大睁双眼并能看见
是经验，柔弱能够穿透硬土
是爱，回报来处以装饰和荫蔽
他们粗糙，矮小，没有武器
但没有他们，就没有像样的大地


Wild Grass

By Chenfan Wuyou


They are life, with wide-open eyes that can see
They are experience, weak yet penetrating hard soil
They are love, repaying where they are from with decoration and shade
They are rough, short and unarmed
But without them, there would be no decent land

我坐在公交车上看长江

唐祥文文


我不是那个从手架上掉下来的人
那个被机械打断了手指的人
好多人被骗被偷被打
我不是那个人
我坐在公交车上，经过长江大桥


I’m Sitting on the Bus Gazing at the Yangtze River

By Tangxiang Wenwen


I’m not the man who fell off the scaffolding
Nor the one whose finger was mechanically broken
Many have been swindled, robbed and beaten
I’m none of them
I’m sitting on the bus passing the Yangtze River Bridge

梅子

奇峰秀


一挂梅子，铁了心
在等
滑动秤砣准星的手

一个让她脸上飞霞的人
一个抱她下轿的人


Plums

By Qifengxiu


A cluster of plums, is waiting
With an iron-willed heart
For the hand that slides the scale’s sights

The one who makes her face glow
The one who carries her out of the wedding sedan

留白

罡罡老郭


采空区，一块块煤核的留白
煤尘和瓦斯，不过是旁逸而出的批注。
只有十年以上的老窑工才有资格
自诩一声“老煤核”。


Blank Space

By Ganggang Laoguo


In the mined-out area, there are blank spaces of coal cores
Coal dust and gas are merely incidental notes.
Only veteran miners with over one-decade working experience are eligible
To call themselves “Old Coal Core”

镜子

车行


忽而日暮
苍山愈远，愈无言
默片的剧中人，终究无法穿越最后的
水银的栅栏
——“即使欠我一个拥抱，也要与你终老。”


Mirror

By Chexing


Dusk descends suddenly
The farther green mountains are, the more speechless they grow
The silent-film protagonist can never travel through the last
Mercury fence
—“Even if you owe me a hug, I will grow old with you.”

词语

林木


是一团火苗，在伏案的窗口颤动
一粒石子，投入空虚的湖面
一块冰，滑入盛夏的喉咙
一个爱人，眼里的温柔，或一次
在深夜里独自，对黑暗的凝视


Word

By Lin Mu


It’s a flame flickering at the desk-window
A pebble cast into the empty lake surface
A piece of ice sliding down the throat of midsummer
A lover’s tenderness in her eyes, or a
Solitary gaze into darkness in the middle of the night

默

余光之瞳


你靠近大海，心悬在崖边
风起，众多渔船下帆
不要停留太久，夜深海浪就能回家
月色上山，大海不停喘息
天空还有一线生机


Silence

By Yuguang Zhitong


You draw near the sea, and your heart hangs by the edge of the cliff
The wind rising, fishing boats lower their sails
Don’t linger too long. Waves will find their way home at late night
The moon climbs up the mountain, the sea keeps gasping for breath
The sky still has a thread of life
