烟囱

Evening Smokestack

                           
在摇摇欲灭的
灯火前
猛吸烟斗的
老头

只想再吐
一个
完整的
烟圈
			

frantically puffs 
his pipe
under the dying sky 

trying in vain
to make another ring
of smoke
			

五月的晴空

The Clear Sky Of May

                           
五月的晴空
没有云
没有鸟
没有风
筝
拉著他跑他跳他飞
的线突然在他手里断了
气

四顾无人的旷野里
俯视著僵卧脚下
的
影
子
他开始感到太阳刺骨的
冷度
			

in the clear sky of May
there were no clouds
no birds
no wind

the kite string 
that pulled him run
jump 
and fly
suddenly broke

on the wilderness
looked at his own shadow
lying stiff and motionless 
under his feet
he suddenly felt
the penetrating cold
of the sun
