屹立在山坡上

大片大片绿色的竹海

仰首对着天上的浮云

凝望 

渐渐浮思如青烟

坠落      洒下一肩颤抖

想起二十多年前

竹林怀里的坟冢

长眠不醒

那里荷妻藕子丢了一串脚印

一条相连的脉络

魂充盈的心  辗转

侵入骨里的痛

判了死缓      在绵延的岁月里残喘 

竹伫立在山坡上 不动

无声的眼眸 

穿过山涧 

渡过湖泊

越过江河

望着流云远走天涯

The sea of bamboos

Standing on the hill

Abundant greenness

Look upon sky to a flowing cloud

There is more and more floating mind curling out

Like sentimental smoke

Pacing

Soon it drops

Spreading shiver over the shoulder

A sleeper inside a tomb lies down

In the arms of bamboos

Their sleeping bed

Into the eternity 

To figure, more than 20 years

A cluster of footprints

Lost there

One is his lotus wife, and one a child, their root

The past it was

Goes

Behind

A connected vein zings over

The soul haunted in the heart    

Turns and tosses

A pain chilled to the marrow

Sentenced the postponed death

Waits

Front

To survive

On the continued life journey

The bamboo, still hangs there — 

The hill

Straight limbs

His eyes, unsaid

Travelling through the valleys

Leaping above lakes

Flying over the oceans

Sends his drifting cloud away
