裁缝铺紧闭著文/黄元元（香港）
译/桂清扬（杭州）
扯了六尺靛蓝，可缝套立领
花洋布做条布拉吉，天暖和了
靓丽和著拍子，那时
春意在巷道间流溢
裁缝铺紧闭著，我寻思
门前的那只猫呢？没有告示
只字未留。太阳还有一个时辰
决定等到黄昏后
失望如同紧闭的栅栏，一晃
就是经年。每次绕道而来
只为芝麻门开。碎花布
越发软和，靛蓝也退了色
我将布头
系了一个死结
The Tailor's Tightly Closed
Six feet indigo cloth is adequate to make a coat collar,
And in warm weather a skirt is made out of flowery cotton cloth.
Rhythm of beauty works well with beats,
With spring in the air overflowing between the lanes.
The tailor's was tightly closed, I wonder
Where is the cat usually lying in front of the door?
No notices. No messages. The sun has another hour---
Having decided to wait until after dusk.
Disappointment is like a closed fence over years,
|Every time I pass by, doing nothing
But open the sesame automatic door.
Flower pattern clothes become softer and indigo color fading.
I intend to make a knot
By using the cloth head.
