乡愁

诗║空也静

译丨程家惠

一年的等待

好不容易熬到头

疫情如一封八百里加急

退掉了

一张预订的车票

泪水沿着屋檐

越吊越长

往事从一个梦里爬出

一翻身

走进另一个梦

4. Homesickness

Kong Yejing / Translated By Cheng Jiahui

Having waited for one year

we, at last, can breathe easy

when the epidemic bounces back like an urgent letter from afar

A booked train ticket

canceled,

Tears stream down along the eaves

longer and longer

The past crawls out of a dream

Turning over

it walks into another
