TALKING TO A TREE
there is a tree in front of our bathroom
in winter the tree doesn’t change
beautiful
tall
I stare at the tree
I want to open the window and have a smoke
peaceful like sitting under the tree
in this non-smoking house
on the rim of Berlin
every day I put on a coat
take a look around
try to open the door
take a walk
light a cigarette
smoke
walk back in

春树
对一棵树说
洗手间的窗户正对着一棵树
它在冬天有不变的形态
美
高耸
盯着这棵树
我想打开窗户抽烟
像在坐在树下一样安详
在这栋不允许抽烟的
柏林郊外房子
我每天都穿上外套
打量四周
找开门
走出去
点烟
抽完
再走回来

TALKING TO MY HUSBAND
“So beautiful!”
I stare into space
then I realize
he is talking about my belly.
Bulging,
20 weeks pregnant.
Actually I don’t think it’s beautiful.
It’s rather scary.
But I don’t want to disappoint him,
so I tell him I share his opinion.

春树
我与丈夫的对话
“多美啊”
我一愣神
才意识到他说的是我的肚子
隆起的
已经有二十周孕期的肚子
其实我觉得一点也不美
还有点可怕
但为了不扫他兴
我还是赞同了他的观点
