西安

城墙如一串佛珠

挂在钟楼的脖子上

阳光偶尔会伸出手指

拨动着，每念一下

就有一个朝代

从低矮的门洞里走出

兵俑身披盔甲

几千年按兵不动

Xi'an

The city wall is like a string of Buddha beads

Hanging on the neck of the bell tower

The sun occasionally sticks out its fingers

Every time it twirls and prays

There is a dynasty

Coming out of the low doorway

The terra cotta warriors in armor stand still for thousands of years

岁末

一年到头啄食文字

向生活低头弯腰

寒风薅尽了飞翔的羽毛

捂住流血的伤口

一翻身

从一个梦掉入另一个梦

日子像堆好的积木

推倒重来

End of the Year

All the year round

I am busy pecking at words

Lower my head and bend before life

Cold winds have plucked all the flight feathers

Covering the bleeding wound

Turning over

I fall from one dream into another

Life is like a pile of well-stacked building blocks

Which must be leveled and started all over again

山村

一声呼唤

从炊烟里长出

马蹄缠起晚归的小路

如果没有月亮

萤火虫就打着灯笼

满山遍野地

寻找

A Mountain Village

A call

Renders the cooking smoke

generating a path wrapped up by horse hooves for late returning

Which

If there is no moon

Fireflies are seeking

all over mountains and fields

by light of lanterns

白露

夜爬上发梢

染白墙壁一面镜

寂寞抬高额头的海拨

荒草已无力隐瞒

衰败的迹象

冥冥中，总有些暗示

指向死亡

White Dew

Night crawls upon the hair ends

Whitening a mirror on the wall

Solitude has raised the altitude of brows

Withered wild weeds are too impotent to conceal

Signs of decay

Out of imperceptibility

There are always some hints

Pointing to death

后半夜

扶起跌倒的身影

摇摇晃晃闯过一路红灯

雨湿透了临街阳台上

滑落的几声呼噜

如果一男一女

故事就可能编得生动离奇

偏偏是两个男人

无话不说

After Midnight

Propping up the fallen figure Staggering through red lights all the way

The rain soaking a few snores

Slipped from a balcony facing the street

Were they a man and a woman

The story would be concocted vivid and bizarre

But they are two men

Talking about everything without any reserve

古井

一把辘轳

绞起混浊的记忆

麻绳紧勒着

没黑没白的日子

谁也说不清哪个冬天

一个女人丢下冰锅冷灶

用身子填平这个窟窿

磨盘捂住

一张嘴

An Old Well

A windlass

Hoists a turbid memory

With ropes fastening miserable life tight and taut

No one can tell in which winter

A woman left cold stove and cauldron behind

And jumped into the well to fill the hole

A millstone seals

A mouth

枫叶

像盖满公章的加急文件

顺着隐密的山路

一级一级转发下来

一字不露地

传达到每棵树

一夜之间

满山遍野一片红

Maple Leaves

Like an urgent document stamped with official seals

Being gradually transmitted along the hidden mountain paths

To every tree

Literally

Overnight

All over hills and dales are blazing red.

登大雁塔

是塔一截一截长高

而我却停在1米75的高度

用尽浑身力气

往上爬的人

最终都得丢下远处的景

老老实实回到地上

手里捏着

一张作废的门票

Ascending the Great Wild Goose Pagoda

It is the pagoda that grows taller section by section

While my height remains at 1.75 meters

Using up all his physical strength

The climber

will ultimately have to leave the distant vista behind

and return honestly to the ground

Pinching in hand

An invalid ticket

往事

一一读杨军《西迁往事》

键盘敲开紧锁的木门

往事披一件粗布衫

跟着几声咳嗽

走出老屋

一点一点捡起

零碎的记忆

叠起发黄的影子

装订成册

The Past Events

Reflections on reading Yang Jun's History of Moving to the West

The keyboard has knocked open the tightly-locked wooden door,

The Past dressed in a coarse garment,

Following a few coughs,

Walks out of the old house.

Picking it up bit by bit,

Fragmentary memories

Have folded up yellowing shadows

Into a bound volume.

教师

塔吊越伸越长的手臂

穿过黑色的土地

贫穷的记忆

填不饱一位老人

越张越大的胃口

一根粉笔

在一块巴掌大的自留地里

种瓜得瓜

Teacher

The arm of the tower crane that stretches longer and longer

Crosses the black land

Memories of poverty

Can't fill up an old man's

Appetite that grows increasingly bigger

A piece of chalk

In a palm-sized reserved plot

Reaps what it sows
