The Heart of a Lotus
A summer lotus ready to bloom,
Is a heart wrapped in worries
Who can peel off the wrapping petal by petal
Who can call out the heart of the lotus
Oh, the hapless one, who
Either leaves in too much a hurry or comes too late
The sweet heart long in wait,
Has become a bitter lotus
The outcome can't be changed
The worries of the lotus
Have turned into
Holes with unbroken fibers
荷的心事
一朵含苞待放的夏荷
心 在心事中裹缠
谁能把裹缠片片剥开
谁能把荷的心呼唤出来
无缘的人啊
不是走得太急
就是来得太晚
甜蜜的心在等待中
化为了苦莲
结果无法改变
荷的心事
成了一孔孔的藕断丝连
A Fan
One side is spring the other autumn
You are the spring I the autumn
The spring and the autumn
On opposite sides of a paper
Or the distance
Between the corners of the world
Spring and autumn
With temperatures alike
Yet never belong
To the same season
双面扇
一面是春 一面是秋
你是那春 我是那秋
春与秋
一纸之隔 天涯之遥
春与秋
常有相同的温度
却永远不属于
相同的季节
Alley
May or June
The rain is gentle so is the wind
In the sleepy alley
Myths are written all over the walls
A woman, leaning against the window
Bathes herself in the afternoon sun
At the other end of the alley
A pair of eyes appear
Bright and hot as July
Gazing from May or June
Into the distant October or November
Beautiful lines are constantly being inscribed
On the walls in the sleepy alley
小巷
五月或许六月
细雨柔风
吹进沉睡的小巷
梦一样的神话写满一墙
一位女子 倚窗
沐浴了午后的阳光
一双明眸在巷的另一头
七月般滚烫
五月或许六月
望到十月或许十一月的远方
小巷的墙上
多了一段美丽的诗行
