处决

云飞扬


笔尖刺穿纸页时，刀锋正切开喉管
快门在失血的黄昏，收割最后一丝呼吸

悲壮与热血是两个精巧的棺椁
装殓了
人类黑色的耻骨


Execution

By Yun Feiyang


When the pen pierces through the paper sheet, the blade is cutting through the throat
The shutter reaps the last breath in the bleeding dusk

Tragic heroism and boiling blood are two exquisite coffins
Enshrining
Black human pubic bones



田埂列传

明烛江南


草在路上走。拥挤，匆忙……
像从前
——先民忙忙碌碌，而又食不果腹。
青草啊，为何你面有菜色
却又如此，生机盎然。


The Biographies of Ridges

By Mingzhu Jiangnan


Grass is walking along the path. Crowded, hurried...
Like old times
— the ancestors busied themselves in the fields yet still went hungry.
O grass, why do you look so pale
Yet still so full of vitality.

网中的鱼

冰雨


别犹豫，拼命扑腾吧
直到用尽，最后一丝儿力气

因为，这最后一丝儿力气
有可能，就是你
开启，大网的钥匙


Fish in the Net

By Bingyu


Don’t hesitate. Struggle desperately
Until the last bit of strength is exhausted

Because this last bit of strength
Might just be, the key
To unlock the big net

农民工

道是无晴


我们都有胎记，脱掉外衣
就会裸露出来，其实
那是一块儿很小很小的黄土地
它多像一个远走他乡的人
背负着永远放不下的故乡


Migrant Workers

By Daoshi Wuqing


We all have birthmarks. Our coats taken off
They are exposed. In fact, that is a very, very small patch of yellow earth
It's so much like a person who has migrated far away
Carrying the hometown that he can never let go of

老物件

诗者絮语


田野深处站立或横卧的这些石头们
像一张张寻人启事

有的没人认领
有的
无法辨认


Timeworn Items

By Shizhe Xuyu


These stones standing or lying deep in the fields
Are like missing person notices

Some remain unclaimed
Others
Unrecognizable

云

邓漠涛


云和云相遇了
像两个陌生人结伴旅行
天空太空，容不下它们
长相厮守。一生
飘是人生，落是命运


Clouds

By Deng Motao


A cloud meets another cloud
Like two strangers traveling together
The sky is too empty for them
To remain together forever. In their lifetime
Drifting is life, falling is destiny

古汉台

翊红


一架蚕头燕尾的犁铧，从栈道开始
耕出嶙峋，惊雷与方正的格子
我依然没有找见刀锋，古汉台在一堆竹节上沉睡
一缕阳光斜过来，把弓起的一捺
抻成一道挺直的背影


Ancient Han Terrace

By Yi Hong


A ploughshare with silkworm-head and swallow-tail strokes, starting from the plank road
Ploughs ruggedness, thunder and square grids
I can’t find any blade yet. The Ancient Han Terrace sleeps on a pile of bamboo joints
A ray of sunlight slants over, and stretches the curved right-falling stroke
Into a straight back view

稻草人

李忠义


没心没肺，守住田埂
一站就是一辈子
不求回报，也不图悲喜
过不完苦日子
连死的机会都没有


The Scarecrow

By Li Zhongyi


Heartless and soulless, guarding the field ridges
And standing for a lifetime
It seeks neither reward, nor joy or sorrow
There’s no end to hard times
Not even a chance to die

仰望一只乌鸦，越飞越高

竹月


向上钻出来的洞孔
越挖越深

真是个不肯放弃的家伙
挖得自己
也埋身洞中


Gazing at a Raven Flying Higher and Higher

By Zhu Yue


The hole drilled upward
Is dug deeper and deeper

Such a guy unwilling to yield
Finally gets itself buried
In the hole

一代人

余翔蓝天


被一个叫节育的环
紧锁着
孤独地老去


A Generation

By Yuxiang Lantian


Tightly locked
By a ring called birth control
They grow old in solitude

开花之后

朝闻天下


蜜蜂来了，蝴蝶来了
其他不知名的昆虫都来了
轮番采访
仿佛它是花魁
而它只是想把花苞打开


After Blooming

By Zhaowen Tianxia


Bees come, butterflies come
And other unknown insects all come
To interview it
As if it were the flower queen
Yet it merely wants to unfurl its petals
