-摄影家 Cynthia Matthews 的作品《Bryant Park》

Snowscape
-After Cynthia Matthews' photograph Bryant Park

雪落在
曼哈顿的摩天楼
喧嚣和浮华上

落成一张照片：
两个撑黑伞的
人影

走过布莱恩特公园
他们踏雪的
脚步

融入曼哈顿的
寂静，融为雪花
静静飘下
			

Snow is falling
on Manhattan's skyscrapers,
noise and luxury,

falling into a picture:
two figures
holding black umbrellas

walk through Bryant Park;
their footsteps 
on the fallen snow

fade into Manhattan's 
stillness, fade into snow
falling in hush.
