想妈妈		Missing My Mother
——妈妈，我愿倾其所有换取你一刻生命一当群山落尽繁华野兽们无家可归妈妈，戴着你的王冠来吧住在我的嘴唇上二你是南风住进我的身体你轻轻的笑骨肉荒原就开满野花妈妈，我与你飞翔，无牵无挂三想你时阳光很结实撞疼面庞玉米地和红葡萄叫着你的小名妈妈，你在66年的长街上来来往往四我的手像瞎眼的小鸟在空虚中打捞你的气息妈妈，你化作大雨倾盆吧就赤着脚，走进白衣庵胡同里五我的四肢空无一物梦也无处站立你带走了那颗剥开的果实妈妈，我已把儿时的圆桌擦干六你用时间编织图形你把时间分成两千种颜色妈妈，苦难也被你分成千丝万缕炊烟在你手中光芒四射七思念，这疼痛的岩浆我要送你到印度洋我要把你种进100个国家的土壤妈妈，看见雨水就看见了你的模样八逃出故乡，我和我的诗被繁星一饮而尽妈妈，我与你同住在光里把来生洞穿九一千只鸟衔来露水织女和嫦娥是露水的伴娘露水清洗妈妈妈妈清洗地球　　2012.春节于北京通州宋庄		-- Mama, I'd give away all I have To exchange for a moment of your life I When mountains no longer hold their extravagance Beasts are deprived of habitats Come, Mom, wearing your crown Come live on my lips II You are a south wind taking root in my body, Your gentle smile Spreads the wilderness of bones and flesh with wild flowers. Mom, I fly with you, no holding back. III When I miss you, the sunlight is so stout That my face aches with its strike, Cornfields and carrot lots call out your maiden name Mom, along the street of 1966, you go back and forth IV My hands are a blind bird Trying to reclaim your air from nothing Mom, will you turn into a heavy shower And drift barefooted into the White Nunnery Alley V My limbs can hold nothing Dreams have no footing You carry with you the peeled fruit Mom, I have swept dry the table of childhood VI You wove patterns with time You divided time into two thousand colors Mom, you also divided suffering into thousands of locks Cooking smoke flares in your hand VII Missing you is a lava of pain I will see you off to the Indian Ocean I will plant you into the earth of a hundred countries So, Mom, I see you whenever I see a rain VIII After running away from hometown, I am gulped down By stars, and so is my poetry Mom, I will live in light with you Let's live out our next life IX A thousand birds brings dewdrops in their beaks The Weaver Girl and the Moon Goddess are the bridesmaid to the dew That washes my mother Who washes the Earth 　　Chinese New Year, 2012, Beijing
