父亲坐在园里

Father Sitting in the Yard

父亲老了
多数时间守在村子里
守着房前屋后的园
园里的葱 园里的树
已是鲜而小的翠绿色

春天里我回到了村子
我寻找着父亲
屋子是空的 村子是静的
我的呼唤里没有他的回应
当我绕过屋后
父亲坐在园里
坐在一株小桃树下
手里持着一把小钢锯
那根拐杖也躺在他的身边

被他剪裁下来的鲜桃枝
绿绿地围满了树的根部
这一刻父亲是幸福的
			

My father is getting old
He stays in the village most of the time
Watching the front yard as well as the back one
Where spring onions and trees 
Already take on a fresh green

Back to my village in spring
Searching for my father
House empty, village quiet
No response from him to my calling
As I walk around to the back
There he is sitting 
Under a young peach tree
With a hacksaw in his hand
His crutch leaning beside him

Fresh twigs cut from the peach tree
Surrounding the root in green
How blessed he must feel at this moment
