加州仿佛从来不下雨……
我却常常在大雨中回家……
生火 烫酒 写诗……
想尽办法把自己拧干……
但总有那么一滴留在战后……
余烬里不肯干的泪……

It seems it never rains in California…
But I usually come back home in heavy rain…
Lighting up a fire, warming up to wine and writing poetry…
I try my best to wring water from myself until I fully dry out…
Yet a drop is always left until after the war…
a teardrop unwilling to be dried out…
in the remains of ashes…
(Translated by Yidan Han)

乌龙苍白
寂静喧哗
有一个人
自黑暗中
长出
望着我
望着我
春天昨夜来过
樱花就要开了

Wulong tea is pale.
Silence makes noises.
Someone suddenly grows up
from darkness,
looking at me,
looking at me.
Spring visited last night.
The cherry is going to bloom.

我的狗一定没读过李白
每次我用水喉替它冲洗时
都想咬断那比流水更急的水流
但对于年年春天有意洩漏的一点消息
譬如鸟鸣花展譬如女子路过家门譬如
流行譬如绯闻譬如一根藏在电脑里
比什么骨头都要硬的人造骨头
却往往留到夏天才连打喷嚏
这起码证明它熟悉我的
诗的味道

My dog must have never read Li Po.
Every time I wash him by a garden hose,
He always wants to bite off the current
which is swifter than a torrent.
But to the news deliberately to be leaked out every spring,
for example, chirps of birds, flower exhibition, a girl passing by my home,
or vogue, or rumors, or a bone hidden in the computer and hardened than any bones,
he will never sneeze until summer when he sneezes a lot,
which at least testifies that he is familiar with
the taste of my poetry.

我的诗便是了
写在水池边的水渍
迅即升出时间的躯壳
可解或不可解都毋需实现
欢乐的请大家分享
凄美的随我
死于异邦

My poem will be
Written in the puddle by the pond
Will soon rise from the body of time
Interpretable or not, no need to be realized
The joy is for everyone to share
The beautiful sadness stays with me
Dying in the foreign land
(Translated by Mindy Zhang )
