与己书

小小


老牛的脑袋突然往墙上撞
我拉紧绳索拽也拽不住

只怪我，刚才不能自已
对着它说了那么多烦心事


A Letter to Myself

By Xiaoxiao


The old ox suddenly hits the wall with its head
I pull the rope tight but can’t hold it back

It’s all my fault. I couldn’t control myself just now
And confided so many troubles to it

青苔

白芷


幽寂处，汹涌地翠绿着
忘却匍匐
忘却非草非木


Moss

By Baizhi


In the secluded place, the lush greenery surges forth
Forgetting crawling
Forgetting it’s neither grass nor tree

雨量计

刘卫玲


沙漠将空杯举向星群
仙人掌竖起刻度表
一只蜥蜴数着云朵坠落的秒数
直到月光把它的尾巴
浇灌成绿色量筒


Rain Gauge

By Liu Weiling


The desert raises its empty cup to the stars
The cactus erects its scale
A lizard counts the seconds for the clouds to fall
Until the moonlight waters its tail
And turns it into a green measuring cylinder
