公园

一块老式牌匾

像一块锅盔

被城市一口一口啃下

消化得

只剩下地图上一个点

钉子一样

扎进历史深处

Park

An old-style plaque

Is like a piece of crusty pancake

Gnawed bit after bit by the city

Digested

Into a mere point on the map

Like a nail

Driven into the depth of history

海子

一趟开往春天的列车

载满卸不下的心事

在半路出轨

面朝大海

不见春暖花开

一首诗

在生与死之间

来回穿行

Haizi *

A train bound for Spring

Loaded with a heart blue and gray

Was derailed halfway

Facing the sea

Unable to see blooms in warm spring

A poem

Travels to and fro

Between life and death

常宁宫

来头不小的风

大摇大摆进了长安城

玉兰花火急火燎盛开着

鸟儿故意弄出很大的声响

小草在一阵雨纵容下

把尾巴翘得很高

常宁宫从此再不安宁

Changning Palace *

The fierce wind, with powerful backing

Struts into Chang'an*

Magnolia burst into blooms frantically

Birds make loud noises on purpose

Indulged by showers of rain

Little grasses stick up high their tails Changning Palace is no longer peaceful

春分

把春天放在案板上

一刀剁成两截

没有比这更公平了

黑与白

均分了整个天下

瞬间过后

阳光开始倾斜

梦越来越短

花开得快

落起来更快

Spring Equinox

Spring is put on a chopping board

And cut into two halves

Nothing is fairer than this

Black and white

Thus equally shared the whole world

A moment later

The sun begins to shine slant

Dreams become shorter and shorter

Flowers bloom fast

Fade and fall even sooner

杏花

每一棵树

都挺着十个月的身孕

在阳光催促下

把春天分娩

含苞待放的花骨朵

仿佛一群新生的婴儿

爬满枝头

风再多吹几下

就会掉下来

Apricot Blossoms

Each tree

Bulging with a ten-month pregnancy

Urged by the sunshine

Gives birth to Spring

All the buds eager to bloom

Like a covey of new-born babies

Flock onto branches

And are likely to fall

If blown a few times more by the wind

小面馆

油烟熏黑了

十五瓦的灯泡

老板娘撩起围裙

把双手简单擦了一下

一碗扯面就几瓣蒜

油泼辣子调浓故乡的味道

往事被一声饱嗝随身带走

带不走的

就坐在靠墙的木桌上

A Little Noodle House

Fume darkened

The 15-walt bulb

The lady owner lifted up her apron

Wiped her hands briefly

A bowl of pulled noodles with a few garlic cloves

Chili oil thickened the hometown flavor

All past memory is gone with a burp

What cannot be taken

Is seated on the wooden table against the wall

杏花

刚下车

她们便齐刷刷围过来

躲在远处偷看的

是几只蝴蝶

小鸟说着几句变味的乡音

蜜蜂打声招呼扭头便走

我随手从枝头摘下

一些赞美

送给路过的亲人

Apricot Blossoms

Soon as I was off the bus

A throng of them rushed over to surround me

Some butterflies

Peeped at a distance

Little birds spoke in distorted local accent

Bees turned away after greeting

I plucked some praise at random

From branches

And gave them to the passing kinsfolks

三月

梨花搜肠刮肚

从辞海里捞起一大堆词

一再表白

春风移情别恋

爱上一枝出墙的红杏

花蝴蝶脚踩两只船

在红白喜事之间

奔来跑去

March

Pear blossom searches her mind

And fishes up words from dictionary

To repeat her confession

The vernal breeze passes his affection

To a red apricot blossom sticking out of the wall

A colorful butterfly sits on the fence

Running to and fro

Between the red weddings and white funerals

瞄准

翻出一些名字

写在靶子上

不停地调整准星

练习瞄准

一辈子

从没打过一枪

Aiming

Some names are dug up

And written on the target

I adjust the front sight again and again

Practicing my aiming

Though all my life

Not a single shot have I fired

蝉鸣

仿佛架在枝头的高音喇叭

扯开嗓子

对唱着一首走调的山歌

用尖叫压低了城市的吵闹

或一台大马力的电锯

咬住黄昏的骨头

割断一个游子与故乡的链接

寂寞坐在一把木椅上

像一座挪不走的雕塑

Cicada Chirping

Like a loudspeaker mounted on a tree

At the top of their lungs

They sing a duet of a folk song out of tune

Muffling the urban noise

Or a high-power electric saw with shrills

Biting tight the bone of twilight

Cutting off the linkage between a roamer and his hometown

Silence sits on a wooden chair

Like a statue that cannot be moved

人生

一辈子

被命挟持

拄着一根越磨越短的光阴

把身体搬进镜框

在一片哭声里

销声匿迹

Life

A life

Is seized by Fate

Supported by a walking stick worn down by time

It moves its body into a picture frame

And vanishes

Amid wails

土特产

它们跟土混为一谈

就像童年的小伙伴

或拐弯抹角的远房亲戚

打断骨头连着筋

我在一堆土特产里

看到母亲的影子

Local Products

They lump together with earth

Like childhood playmates

Or some distant relatives far flung

Sinews are still connected though bones broken

In heaps of local products

I saw the figure of Mom

离别

老屋瘦得

剩下几根骨头

靠一缕阳光硬撑着

往事像一把木椅

蹲在墙角

在我扭身要走的时候

母亲从镜框里伸出手来

紧拽住我的衣襟

Parting

The old house was so thin

Only a few bones are left

Held up barely by a ray of sunshine

The past was like a wooden chair

Squatting in the corner

When I turned to leave

Mom reached out her hand from the picture frame

Caught fast the edge of my shirt

虚假

每天一睁眼

我就将我塞进

一面镜子

然后取出另一个我

小心地放到

戏台上

在这个虚假的人间

他只是个替身

Falsity

Each day I wake up

And stuff myself

Into a mirror

And take another me out

And place it with caution

On the stage

In this double-dealing world

He is but a substitute

父亲

穿一件黑色的粗布衫

从镜框里走出来

端坐在堂屋的木椅上

月光握一把老式的手电筒

照在他的脸上

打眼一看

多像我的兄弟

Father

In a black coarse-cotton shirt

Father walks out of the picture frame

And sits on the wooden chair in the living room

Moonlight, with an old-style flashlight in hand

Shines on his face

At a glance

How he looks like my brother
