胸痛症 Chest Pain
Bilingual Poetry; 2022
胸痛症
早晨出门：
尖锐
痛得厉害
高塔将倾
但
脚步不能停
中午便当：
郁结
冷饭冷菜
处处不顺
怨天尤人？
可不是办法
下午伏案：
气短
些许不适
忍耐
胜利的曙光亮在
你我的心里
心慌
心慌
半夜回家：
才走出七步
暴毙而——
窗外响起救护车的尖啸
Chest Pain
Morning:
Sharp pain
Excruciating
The tower is falling
But
The sacred way to work shall not be stopped
Lunch:
Something is stuck
Is it —
The coldness of the dishes?
The retrograde of Mercury?
What else can be done?
Complaining is obviously not the way
Afternoon:
The shortness of breath
The discomfort hiding behind the flesh and bone
Patience, Patience
The morning light of victory
Is rising in our hearts
Rising, Rising
The racing heart
Midnight:
Seven steps out of the office
Red as the eye of a crow
The sudden — sudden —
Beyond the window
The ambulance screams
