桥

樊功生

拂晓前

分不清花草

都市也是一片朦胧

只有桥在半空中悬着

简明有力的线条

支撑着一道道车灯... 

曾经  在人们的心中

有那些无形的桥

它们是爱  是安慰

是拍拍后背的手

是可以哭泣的肩膀... 

啥时候开始

都变成了短信

和几个傻笑的表情包？

直到  那个冰冷的夜晚

一个年轻的身影

徘徊着  

犹豫着

然后  一跃而下... 

注：旧金山金门大桥是世界上自杀最多的大桥之一。

Bridge 

By Ken Fan

Translated by Ken Fan 

Before dawn, 

Weeds and flowers remain indistinguishable. 

The city is shrounded in haziness still. 

Only that bridge hangs up there against sky, 

Those crossing bars, simplistic yet powerful, 

Are supporting lines of dashing car lights. 

Once upon a time, 

In those hearts, 

There existed some invisible bridges. 

They were love and solace. 

They are understanding hands 

tapping on your back, 

And the firm shoulders to cry on quietly. 

Since when, 

They have been replaced with phone messages, 

Plus a few silly emojis?

Until that freezing night, 

A young shadowy figure

Lingering, 

Hesitating, 

Then, suddenly, jumped. 

Note: Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco has one of the highest number of suicides in the world.
