二千公里的乡愁		Homesickness —— from the Remotest Land
乡愁以每小时一百二十公里的速度，奔跑着它“咣铛，咣铛……” 一下，一下，击打着坚硬的失眠铁轨有多雪亮，乡愁便有多深一群又一群山羊被列车，拉近又拉远两旁的树叶像退潮的河水走回了泥土一个，又一个鸟巢，在天空中，水落石出像我们的眼睛被初冬举在高高的枝丫上一捆柴禾在回家的背上缓慢地移动着初冬的河流坦露着断奶后干瘪的胸膛二千公里的故乡扇动着翅膀一百节愁肠装满故乡清晨的露水它起伏的呼吸：轻微，细腻阳光，把二千公里的乡愁照得暖洋洋的一滴风干的泪水被温暖拥抱在怀中像一朵无言的花悄然绽放……		Homesickness, running at 120 kilometers per hour Rumbling all the way to the distance Lingering in the air, striking the invincible insomnia How shining the rail is, how deep the homesickness is Flocks of goats are close to train, gradually afar Leaves at both sides get back to earth, as the river after tides ebbing away One nest after another You can see them so clear in the sky, as if stones will appear, when the water ebbs Like our eyes Being hung on the high branches by early winter A bundle of firewood slowly moves at the back on the way home River, in the early winter, exposes her shriveled breast after weaning Hometown, two-thousand kilometers away, flutters her wings Thousands of homesickness is filled with dawn dew of hometown Her heaving breath: slight, exquisite Sunshine dilutes boundless homesickness Felt warm A seasoned drib of teardrop Warmly hugged in the arms As if a wordless flower quietly blooms…
