十月午后

October Afternoon

阳光在百叶窗上来回踱步
一脚轻一脚重
屋里忽明忽暗
令人如在时空里穿梭
透过百叶窗望去
葡萄藤上, 一大半的
叶子已经枯黄
而远处灰色的屋顶上方
深红和金黄的叶子
燃烧着

最美的季节已经来临
却仿佛正转身离去
草地依然是绿的
上面总会有一些落叶
提醒人们，秋的帷幕已经拉开
蓝鸟在不远处发出阵阵悲鸣
其尖利的叫声
与一个在树下叮当作响的风铃
的悦耳音乐混合在一起

花儿们相继离去了
一只蝴蝶趴在
最后一朵紫兰色的花上
享受着最后的午餐
之后, 它将飞向哪里
			

Sunshine saunters back and forth
across the blinds, 
one foot light, another heavy.
Inside, suddenly bright, suddenly dark,
as if I were shuttling between space and time
Looking through the blinds,
I see the vine
more than half 
its leaves withered yellow
Far away, above the gray roof,
Leaves burn
crimson and golden.

The most beautiful season 
has arrived
though it seems as if 
it has already turned to leave.
Grass, still green, on which
leaves scatter,
The reminder that autumn has begun.
Blue jays burst with lament
not far away, 
their sharp calls
blend with the sweet music
of jingling chimes
underneath a tree.

Flowers fall 
one by one.
A butterfly
Perched on a lone violet, enjoys
its last supper.
Where will it now fly?
			

阳台

From the Balcony

被黑夜一点点吞噬的美
发出一声尖叫
慵懒的小猫躲在月亮背后
偷吃剩余的月光
浮云象蜜糖一样游动
蜜汁沿着天边滑入大海
惊起一群海鸥
海鸥在盘旋中渐渐疲惫
在疲惫中渐渐沉默
只有海浪不断翻滚
			

A beauty, slowly devoured by the night
emits a shrill scream.  
The lazy cat hides behind the moon,
eating left-over moonlight.
Clouds like honey, float and
slide into the sea along the horizon.
A flock of seagulls startle,
circling round and round
they gradually exhaust
into silence.
Only the waves now churn incessantly.
