Qi Fengyan: Two Poems

齐凤艳译

On the Winter Solstice Day

In this season he gives his eyes to dead branches.
In the evening when they burn his chest,
He gives himself to wine, like a black bear
In the hollow of a tree warming flowers with his tongue.
Slightly drunk, he fancies himself as a fir
Standing on a north slope 3,000-meter high,
Tempered by snow.
If his wife brings a dish of fried goose,
Wings will grow out of his body,
His temper will get bigger,
He will chock the howling outside the window in his claws.
While what she hands to him is always a roll of dry tobacco.
He looks at the sparks twinkling,
She looks at him and through her ribs
Takes out a magnolia:
Night is for love.


At the Water's Edge

Bird songs, having arrived at the water before me,
Go deep into the water from the center of a concentric circle,
Ripples rippling. We are together, aren’t we?
Stroking a willow wicker and its shadow, wind sneaks
Into the bottom of the river.
Do you see my deep love?

This quiet mirror.
The daffodils are separated from the youth.
The curtain of light.
Who else still remembers that he was its previous life?

The crazy love pointing to itself.
The oracle echoing from above the upper course of the water.
Staggering, I fall into it:
Not so bad, just half a shadow,
Not so bad, just for a moment.

诗二首


齐凤艳


冬至

在这个季节他把目光送给枯枝
傍晚它们烧红它的胸腔时
他就把自己交给酒，如黑熊
在树洞里用舌头温暖花朵
微醉时，他幻想自己是冷杉
在三千米高的阴坡
由雪锤炼品格
如果伊此时端来烧鹅
他就会生出羽翼
生出脾气
把窗外的狂嚎窒息在利爪
可伊递给他的总是一卷旱烟
他看着火星明灭
伊看着他，从肋骨里
取出一朵玉兰：
夜晚，适合恋爱


在水边

鸟鸣，先于我抵达
钻入一个同心圆
荡漾。我们是在一起的吧
缘着柳条和它的倒影，风潜入
水底
你见到我的深情了吗

这安静的镜子
水仙花和少年之间隔着
光瀑
还有谁记得他是它的前生

疯狂的爱指向自身
神谕在上游回响
一个趔趄，我跌入水中
还好，只是半个影子
还好，只是一瞬
