—To the Year of Snake

晨雾中的                        
你  吐信                 
如莲                    

而我                    
是晨间一隻过路的         
小鸟                     
                         
却惘然
于这灵感之美            
的刹那                   
                         
无悔失足                
跌落于你  诗              
的陷阱	

In the morning mist
You stick out your tongue         
Like the lotus 
                     
And I
Am a little bird 
Crossing the road at daybreak

Yet lost
in the inspiring beauty 
of a moment


Without regret stumble and fall  
Into your verses
trap
			

女墙

Female Wall

墙  让月光洗濯          
她苍癯的脸             

她  却拒绝            
月亮投下的一些           
暖意                   

像一个失眠的妇人       
她  孤独的站著并且       
拒绝	                
所有来访的风声         

唯独                   
那片依附她脸上          
被月光漂洗不去的 
       
最令她烦恼  生厌        
而又最体贴的青苔        

却是她                 
至死                    
不渝的知己

The wall allows moonlight   
To wash her emaciated face

But she refuses the moon
Casting her a bit  
Of warmth 

Like a female insomniac 
She stands alone   
Refusing 
all visits from the sounds of wind 

Only
A single patch clinging to her face
Cannot be bleached out by moonlight

It vexes and bores her most
but is the most considerate lichen

It is her 
Intimate friend
Until-death
