   背对时光

也许就该这样

花期刚过

惆怅就已经开始

看一束光

会想到父亲

经过一场雨

会想到人生艰难时

道路的泥泞

背对时光

从青春到衰老

靠在窗前看风景

那枚树叶

跳动着的鸟儿

对面窗口恍恍惚惚的影子

逐渐缩水的自由

想起诗歌和民主

脸会发红

心里会潮水般汹涌

背对时光

常联系的人

悄然离去

常光顾的中药铺子

突然关张

那些我一直喜欢的情景

也已经过时

习惯了双手紧握安慰自己 一切都会过去

Turning My Back on Time

By: Maidong*

Perhaps this it just the way things are meant to be

When the flowering season is over

Melancholia sets in

Looking at a beam of light

I invariably think of my father

After rain

I think about life’s challenges

And the muddiness of the road

I am turning my back on time

From youth to ageing

Standing at the window I look out at the view

The leaves on the trees

The hopping birds

The dream-like reflections in the window opposite

Our gradually diminishing freedoms

Thinking about poetry and democracy

My face flushes

My emotions surge violently

I am turning my back on time

People with whom you were often in touch

Quietly leave you

The traditional medicine shop you frequented

Unexpectedly closes its doors

Those daily patterns of life I always enjoyed

Are even now things of the past

Ritually clasping both hands together

I comfort myself

That all things will pass
