凌晨两点的忧伤
睡不着
听到蛐蛐儿叫声
想蛐蛐儿如何说爱
如何排卵
如何躲开一场暴雨
凌晨两点
我一直醒着
一直想一些古怪的事情
黎明前的雪
带着刀的护卫
门口的石狮子
广场舞的余音
小苹果儿
枝头亮了
那些风尘的忧伤与困惑
快要过去
台风又要来了

Two in the Morning Blues
By: Maidong*
The chirping crickets
Are keeping me awake
How do crickets speak of love
How do they lay their eggs
How do they escape rainstorms
It’s two in the morning
And I’m still awake
I can’t stop thinking about weird things:
A snowfall before dawn
Knife-wielding bodyguards
Stone lions at the gate
The lingering music of square-dancing
Little Apple
Shining branches
The sadness and confusion of life
Are almost over
The typhoon is on its way again

* Maidong is the dwarf lilyturf (Ophiopogon japonicus) which is used in Chinese medicine
