这个世界容不下白

山水


小雪来了
不几天就走了
大雪来了
不几天也走了


There Is No Room for White in This World

Landscape


The light snow came
And left a few days later
The heavy snow came
And left a few days later, too

挑食

光冥皇帝


每年唯一一次回家
我的碗里都盛满了
母亲最不爱吃的
肉


The Picky Eater

Emperor Guangming


The only time I go home every year
My bowl is always filled with
Meat
My mother's least favorite

枯木

余述斌


汉江大桥下，一小股江水
受困于沙滩中。江水太浅了
不适宜产生涟漪

一截枯木在其中坐南朝北，并不厌倦江水
它好像从未敢打听过自己的身世


Dead Wood

Yu Shubin


Under the Han River Bridge, a small stream of water
Is stuck on the beach. It's too shallow
To produce ripples

A piece of dead wood sits in it facing north. Not tired of the water
It seems to have never dared to ask where it comes from

中年

若木


向父母遮掩衰老
向女儿遮掩陋俗
向朋友遮掩无奈

——遮掩不住的是三杯酒下肚后
摇摆不定的身影


Middle Age

Ruomu


What is hidden from his parents is senility
What is hidden from his children is vulgarity
What is hidden from his friends is unfortunate necessity

——What cannot be hidden, after three glasses of wine
Is his figure moving forward with uncertainty

钟声

邓维华


谁能在时间的马背上
反弹琵琶一曲
人世空旷
咳嗽的窗口如恍惚的摆
余音悬而未决


The Bell Is Ringing

Deng Weihua  


Who can play the Chinese lute at his back
On the horse of time
The world so empty
The coughing window is like a trancelike swing
Its lingering sound remains up in the air

塑像

逸川听风


祖母紧紧搂护着孙儿，用两个静字
坐于山阳广场内一侧。雕塑者
没让刻刀说她的姓氏就走了

一个很沉的人后来路过，一眼认出
自己是跪在她们跟前的一块石头


The Statue  

Yichuan Tingfeng


The grandmother hugs her grandson tightly, and with two silent words
They sit at the Shanyang Square. The sculptor
Left without carving her last name

A heavy man passes by and recognizes at once
That he is the stone kneeling before them

这一年

张紫泉


这一年，口罩遮住了脸庞
多么亲近的人啊
也看不清他的容颜
偶尔打开手机
发现好多熟悉的人已经失联


This Year  

Zhang Ziquan  


This year, his face covered with a mask
Even those close to him
Could not see his appearance
Turning on his mobilephone occasionally
He found he had lost touch with quite a few acquaintances

覆盖

王登学


大雪把真相覆盖
哪怕是暂时的
也让人间有一种慰藉

白茫茫的。辽阔又干净。


Cover

Wang Dengxue  


The heavy snow covers the truth
Temporary as it is
The world is sort of consoled

White. Vast and clean.
