空也静双语诗选

1祝福

从手机里翻出
一些用旧的词语
反复清洗擦拭
快乐、吉祥、健康
像劈好的干柴
堆满老屋的角角落落
炉火
温暖着一个冬天

Blessing
By WEI Yanlie

Dug out of the cell phone
Some old words
Are repeatedly clean and scrubbed
HAPPY, AUSPICIOUS and HEALTHY
Like chopped firewood
Are piled in every corner of the old house
Stove fire
Is warming a whole winter


2生活

日子历经烟熏火烤
已面目全非
旧恨摞着新伤
仿佛一件脱不掉的盔甲
偶尔挤出一丝笑
补不住
生活千疮百孔的漏洞
世俗在黑白之间
磨出
满脸的老茧

Life
By WEI Yanlie

Smoked and roasted
The face of LIFE has become totally deformed
Old hatred piled with new wounds
Resembles a helmet and armor that can't be taken off
An occasional hint of a smile squeezed out
Is unable to patch up
Loopholes in life
Secularity between black and white
Has triggered
Calluses all over the face


3冬雨

落叶为大地把脉
天空挂满吊瓶
一场雨
击退了雾霾的围剿
炉火温暖着一堆往事
风咬住几根枯枝
啃了一夜

Winter Rain
By WEI Yanlie

Fallen leaves feel the pulse of the earth
Suspending dripping bottles hang all over the sky
A rainfall
Has repelled the encirclement and suppression by haze
A stove fire is warming a pile of past events
The wind has been gripping several dead branches in its teeth
Gnawing a whole night


4红柳

没有靠山，没有背景
像一个无依无靠的人
独自站在黄昏
前不着村后不着店
人间是一望无际的戈壁
抬头只见路过的云朵
苦命的日子
被暮色一口气吞下
又被黎明吐出

Red Willow
By WEI Yanlie

Without backers, without background
Like a miserable man
Standing alone at dusk
Ahead, there are no villages  Behind, there are no inns
The whole world is a boundless Gobi
Looking up, it can only see clouds floating by
The miserable days
Are swallowed in one big gulp by dusk
After which they are spat out by dawn


5卧龙寺

毫不含糊地说
我是冲着这个名字而来
寒风扫尽世俗的字眼
汉隋唐宋渐行渐远
一个又一个故事
冬眠在匾牌的背后
供果就着香火
咽下夕阳

Wolong Temple
By WEI Yanlie

Unequivocally speaking
I came here just for this name
Cold wind has swept all the mundane  words
The Han, Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties are fading away
One story after another is
hibernating behind the plaque
Fuit offerings
Together with burning incense
Have swallowed sunset
