HIDING

Outside they are destroying
the big exhibition hall.
Hiding behind
the buildings around it,
we can only hope to get out
when they stop for lunch.
At the same time
B2 building is also demolished.
First they are breaking
the remaining windows
to get money for parts.
I hide in the cellar,
indulging in coffee.

躲

外面拆
艺术馆大楼
周围楼
后面躲着
还不一定
都能过去
现在同时
拆B2
旁边的楼
打碎玻璃
收破烂的
躲着地下
能喝咖啡
多么奢侈

NOVEL

Someone should
write a novel.
Why are they demolishing
our place
but not the others
around it?
What is the story?
Anyway
the museum is gone.
Dust clouds
like snow.
Late at night
the air finally clears.
All sorts of guards
skulking around.
People are leaving.
Maybe I’ll stay
a few more days.

小说

有一些事情
应该写小说
比如为什么
外面不拆
为什么偏偏
到我们头上
到底这一切
有什么故事
无论怎样
被强拆了
艺术馆没了
灰尘雾霾
像下雪
只有晚上
空气恢复
还被监控
整天躲着
还想呆吗
明天看看

DREAMING OF FATHER

Dreamt of my father
living in the countryside
but not at an actual place
that I know.
It’s on a slope
with a fence at the top.
We have a car,
it needs repairs.
At the gate there is a guy,
he says he’ll repair
the cooling fan
of the engine.
My father says,
don’t give it to him,
you know where he’ll take it?
I guess he will sell it.
It seems like we are
the only two people
who live in this place.

梦见父亲

梦见父亲
住在乡下
不是现实
过去地方
住在下坡
进去时候
要过篱笆
有一辆车
我们的车
应该修理
大门有人
让我给他
制冷马达
那一配件
父亲不让
他会拿走
走到远处
卖给他人
父亲说
好像只有
我们俩人
