WANG WEI’S GRAVE
Wang Wei’s Grave.
Key research zone,
No entrance!
Something with aviation.
Wang Wei up in heaven
smiles at the foreigner
who brings a child
under his tree,
the gingko he planted,
father & son hiding under their hoods,
stealing close
to his stone
to read his poetry
in language from far, far away.
Written in Chinese on April 13, 2019
on location, a factory site near Xi’an.
Translated in Mai 2019
《王维墓》
维马丁
王维墓
科研重地
禁止入内
好像跟航天有关系。
王维在天上
笑着看见
在他种的
银杏树下
有外国诗人
还带孩子
都戴上帽子
偷偷靠近,
对他的幕牌
用外语
读他的诗。
