〈诗谊〉

-- 悼念近日去世的文友

你挥挥手

头也不回地

向天边走去

渐渐成为一个微点

消隐

我怅然回首

却看到你

就站在我的身边

POETIC AFFINITY

-- in memory of my poet friends

you waved your hand

without glancing back

walked toward the horizon

becoming a tiny dot

and disappeared

with a heavy heart I turnedaround

and found you right there

by my side

单行道

无止无尽的路上

一部接一部的车辆

各有各的负载与终点

陷身车阵中

不能超车

更不能回头

眼巴巴瞪视着前方

期待一条岔路

灿然亮起

我们快到了吗

A ONE-WAY ROAD

on the seemingly endless road

one car after another

each carries its own load toward some destination

trapped in the traffic

there's no way of passing

or turning back

he stares straight ahead

waiting for a glistening crossroad

to rise up

are we there yet?
