太师椅

Old Master's Chair

须发皆白的老太师
早就歇进大明那皱摺的江山了
鸡翅木的纹饰里
这座椅还飘着几丝陈年的
迷迭香

闲置得够久的
这张厚重的木椅
还一直巴巴的等待
当年太师的正直威望

园子里的鸡翅木
落过不知多少次叶
耍酷的后现代儿孙们见了
总觉得一辈子
得这么周正的坐着
要多别扭就有多别扭
			

The old master, with his hair all white
He have long rested in the wrinkled mountains of Daming.
In the ornamentation of the chicken-winged wood.
The chair is also flecked with a few strands of aged rosemary.

The heavy wooden chair that had been idle 
Long enough had been waiting 
For the integrity and prestige of the old master.

Chicken-winged wood in the garden.
How many times have the leaves fallen?
Meet the cool postmodern kids and grandkids.
Always feel like a lifetime.
You have to sit so straight.
As awkward as it is awkward.
