菩萨

Bodhisattva

晚年的祖母总掩着那道木门
烧三柱香
摆几碟供果
闭目合掌，嘴中碎碎祷念
家人都知道祖母在和菩萨说话

那天，风儿扰事
咣当推一下
祖母没在意，咣当又推了一下
祖母仍心神不乱
咣当，推第三下的时候
祖母慢慢起身，挪动双腿
轻轻打开木门
见没人，沉默片刻
自言自语：“哦，原来是菩萨！”
			

In her later years, my grandmother always kept the wooden door shut,
Burned three sticks of incense,
Laid a few dishes of offerings,
With eyes closed and hands folded, she murmured in prayer.
All the family knew Grandma was talking with her Bodhisattva.

That day, the wind played a trick,
Slamming the door with a bang,
Grandma didn't care. And then came another bang,
Grandma still kept calm.
Until the third bang came,
Grandma got up slowly, dragged her legs,
And opened the door gently.
Seeing nobody, she kept silent for a while,
Said to herself, "Oh, it's Bodhisattva!"
