杂事诗·24岁时的记忆 徐江

我曾经看到过一只小猴

从猴山的笼子

顺着几颗大树

溜到了笼外

在不远的围墙边儿

走了一会儿

它回头看着笼子的方向

没有其他猴跟过来

就又顺着原路

回去了

Miscellaneous Poems: Memories At The Age Of 24

@Xu Jiang

I once saw a little monkey

In a cage on Monkey Mountain

Climbed a few big trees

Slipped out of the cage

Walked for awhile

Near the fence

It looked back at the direction of the cage

Saw that no other monkeys ventured out

Then followed the same path

Back

02

铁们 南人

一块吸铁石

吸住了

许多铁

紧密

团结

他命令它们

赶紧行动起来

做成刀

做成剑

做成枪炮

赶紧去战斗

铁们

全都听见了

可一个个

全都

动弹

不得

Iron

@Nanren

A piece of magnet

Attracted

Lots of iron

Bound tightly

Unity

He ordered them

Act quickly

Made into a knife

Made into a sword

Made into guns

Hurry up to fight

All the Iron heard

But no one can

Move

03

突兀的花篮 李岩

空心楼上的另一景致

是向南山头上

县委辛书记打造的

一座直径

起码在十几二十米的

巨大牡丹花篮

在河对岸的山西

应该看得清清楚楚

几年前县委辛书记入狱

(前任张书记也进去了)

花篮和周边的万亩牡丹

也就不了了之

只在晋陕大峡谷的山头上

留下一座突兀的花篮

The Obtrusive Flower Basket

@Liyan

Another view from the top of the empty building

Is the top of the mountain to the south

Shanxi providence on the other side of the river should see clearly

A huge peony flower basket

At least ten to twenty meters in diameter

Created by Secretary Xin of the County Party Committee

Secretary Xin was imprisoned a few years ago (The former Secretary Zhang also went there)

The flower basket and surrounding tens of thousands of acres of peonies

No one cares for any more

Leaving only an obtrusive flower basket

On the top of the Jin-Shan Grand Canyon

父亲 马金山

1954年

出生的父亲

青年时期被电击到

掌纹已经看不清楚了

在被检查出心脏病以后

他仍然坚信

算卦先生说的

自己能够活过88岁

Father

@Ma Jinshan

1954

The year my father was born

Was shocked by electricity in youth

Cannot see his palm print clearly

After being diagnosed with heart disease

He still believes what

Mr. Fortune Teller said

He can live past 88

05

明月初临 - 君儿

月亮初临

看起来很小

比正盖的高楼

比脚手架

甚至比任何一块

人间的路牌

都要小

那么小的明月

半个地球的人

都可见到

在它的光芒里

我悄悄洗了个澡

Moon Rise

@Juner

Moon rise

Looks small

Compared to the tall buildings under construction

Scaffolding

Even smaller than any

Street sign of the world

Half of the humans on earth

Can see such a small bright moon

In it’s light

I took a bath quietly

06

旧报纸 莫高

最近开始练习毛笔字

为了节约纸张

找来一大堆旧报纸

说是旧报纸

其实基本没有翻看过的痕迹

想想也有十多年不看报了吧

写字的时候

顺便看了看一些标题

这些粗大的字体

会影响我

Old Newspaper

@Mogao

Recently I started to practice calligraphy

To save paper

I got a lot of old newspapers

I said it was old newspapers

In fact, there are basically no traces of one flipping through them

To think about it I haven't read the newspapers for more than ten years, right?

When writing

I looked at some of the headlines

These thick fonts

Will impact me

07

翠鸟死亡之谜 木匠

暮春的黄水沟水库

绿草如茵,野花盛开

林木生长繁茂

水库里的鱼儿

自由自在地游来游去

一只翠鸟,细长的喙

深深地扎进水库公示牌

以决绝的方式

结束了它的生命

并把自己

漂亮地

悬挂在了公示牌上

The Mysterious Death Of The Kingfisher

@Carpenter

Huangshuigou reservoir in late spring

Green grass, wild flowers blooming

Forest trees grow luxuriantly

Fish in the reservoir

Swim freely

A kingfisher with a long slender beak

Plunges deeply into the public sign of the reservoir

In a decisive way

Ending its life

And putting itself

Beautifully

Hanging on the public sign

08

乡里没了女人 第一闲人

电话接通

我才开口

她就打断我道

大哥,找保姆

不能在乡下

你知道不

我儿子29岁了

没谈女朋友

不是孩子不优秀

也不是家里条件差

是乡里

没了女人

也就我这年龄的

过年回来几天

过完年就走了

总不能让我儿子

找个妈吧

No Woman In The Village

@First Idler

Call connected

I just spoke

She interrupted me

Old brother, do not look for a nanny

From the countryside

Do you know

My son is 29 years old

No girlfriend

It's not because my kid is not good

Also it’s not because my family is poor

In the village

No woman

Just like my age

Come back a few days for Chinese New Year

Leave after the festival

I can't let my son

Find a mom

劳淑珍

坐在火车里

看周围的人

低头看手机

只有我

看车外被屠杀的

树林,忍不住跳起来尖叫

于是大家抬头看我

而在周围的眼睛里

我只能看到

迟钝的

拖延的

等待

Look

@LaoShuzhen

Sitting in the train

Look around at the people

They are looking down at their phones

Only me

Looking at the the woods to be slaughtered outside the train

Can’t help but jump up and scream

Everyone looks up at me

And in the eyes around me

I can only see

Dull

Delayed

Wait

稀为贵 宗尕降初

在诗会入住酒店

题字时

我轻轻挥手

写上四个大字

扎西德勒

一旁服务的女孩

惊奇地欢叫起来

一群人

也蜂拥而至

吓得我一时没恍过神

原来--

我用母语藏文

写下的这四个字

在巴蜀绵阳

显得特别稀有

2021.6.14

Rare Is Precious

@Zonggajiangchu

The peotry club checked into the hotel

When inscribing

I waved gently

Wrote four characters

Za-xi-de-le

The service girl

Cried out in surprise

A group of people

Also swarmed

I was so shocked and scared

Originally--

I used Tibetan in my mother language wrote

These four characters

Seems particularly rare

In Mianyang of Sichuan Province

Note: Zaxidele (Tashi - Delek) in the Tibetan language means good luck or blessing

父亲的心思 夏微

父亲生前是军医

部队在河北古城

只有探亲假时

才回北京和母亲团聚

那年我三岁

家住新街口前帽胡同

母亲在协和医院

生了妹妹

父亲带我去医院探望

乘坐公交车

不知道他怎么

把手给挤了

一路没好气的

本来就对他陌生

脸色又那么重

到了医院一见着母亲

所有的委屈瞬间爆发

哇的一声哭了起来

母亲知道,父亲是

因为她生的不是弟弟

和我一起哭

Father's Mind

@Xiawei

Father was a military doctor

His troop was located in the ancient city of Hebei

Only during family vacation

He went back to Beijing to reunite with my mother

I was three years old that year

Our home was at the new street corner at Qianmao Alley

When my Mother was in Xiehe Hospital

After giving birth to my younger sister

Father took me to the hospital to visit

We took a bus

I do not know why he

Squeezed his hands painfully

Unhappy all the way

At first I almost did not recognize him

Also his face looked so heavy

When I arrived at the hospital and I saw my mother

All my grieving broke out instantly

Cried WAH!

Mother knows that

father is crying with me

Because she didn't give birth to a younger brother

考场静悄悄  -  霍巧玲

村里一所学校

教室里

三名学生

考试

两名老师

监堂

另外一个人

巡视

2021.5.6

Quiet Examination Room

@Huo Qiaoling

A school in the village

In a classroom

Three students

Two teachers

Supervising

Another person

Patrolling

别样咖啡 蓝色妖姬

村里的王某

儿女都有出息

喝的茶水

也由原来的大叶茶

换成了咖啡

他的邻居和朋友

也时不时地到他家蹭喝

但是

泡咖啡用的是原来的茶具

A Different Kind Of Coffee

@Blue Enchantress

Wang from the village

His children are prosperous

Used to make tea

From the original big leaf tea

Changed to coffee

His neighbors and friends from time to time

Go to his house to sponge off a drink

But

The original tea set is still used to make coffee

可把祖国比母亲-  谷驹休

母亲没文化

我每次跟她打视频

都没啥话题

直到疫情再次出现

我们又能

多聊上几分钟

过去也是

地震 暴雨 高温

乃至

猪肉涨价了

每当生活出现重大麻烦时

我们的联系

就会更紧密

Comparing The Motherland To Mother

@Gujuxiu

Mother is uneducated

Every time I use video chat with her

Nothing to talk about

Until the pandemic reappears

We can

Chat for a few more minutes

In the past too

Earthquake, heavy rain, high temperature

and even

The price of pork has gone up

Whenever there is a major trouble in life

Our contact

Will be closer
