NATIONAL DAY

In all these years
there is one national day
I can‘t seem to forget.
Three years ago
I was in Vermont.
Only once you have passed
your National Day abroad,
only then you know:
You are thinking of your own country,
not just your family.
You are missing its reeking
insecure
sense of security.

《国庆节》

多年以来
最难忘的国庆节
还是三年前
我在美国佛蒙特
只有在异国他乡
度一次国庆
你才会晓得
你在想念祖国
而不仅仅是想家
想念它臭哄哄的
安全感
不安全的安全感
