老丝瓜
文/方世开

架子上的几条丝瓜
老了，瘦了，干瘪了
它们短暂的一生，走到了尽头
不容置疑，即便死了
它们依然抱紧内心的种子
等待来年春天，将希望的血脉
延续下去


Old loofahs
Fang Shikai

A few loofahs on the shelf
Getting old，thin，shriveled
Their short lives，have come to an end
No doubt，even in death
They still cling to the seeds of their hearts
Waiting for next spring，let their blood of hope
To reproduce
