Fan Jinghua: A Beautiful Moment

  A Beautiful Moment

So glamorous is the sunset
A cooling breeze is riding the rays to the boiling bed
This moment frees me of guilt as it will not add to anyone’s grievance
Especially those sick and dying, full of delirium and remembrance
Those I do not see but cannot pretend they are not out there

Maybe tomorrow this moment will have a second coming
Maybe the days after tomorrow there will be the same visitation
But no matter how many returns of this beauty to this pre-dark world
One wrong turn is hurting enough
If you look up and see nothing but the formation of southbound geese

   美丽的时刻

夕阳如此之魅
甚至有一股凉爽的风骑着光线冲向那沸腾的床
这样的时刻我毫无愧疚,因为它不会
给人增添任何怨懑,尤其不会为难不可救药的人
一任他们躺在某处,满脑子错乱与记忆
我看不到他们,但我不能假装他们并不存在

也许明天,这样的时刻会再度来临
也许明天之后,还会有一些相同的来访
但无论这样的美多少次返回这个前黑暗的世界
一次错误的拐弯就足以令人伤痛
假如你抬头看到天空空空荡荡而似乎听到南归的雁阵掉下一声哀鸣
