Fan Jinghua: Memory

    Memory
The grasses on your photo have grown wide
In this manor of evergreens and granite
Sometimes I mow the lawn in the moonlight
Like a lonely man goes back to his hometown
To walk his childhood footpaths in the paddy fields
Those who call him uncle give him strange smiles
While his parents let him loose like a head of cattle

   记忆
你照片上的青草疯长
在这冬青树与花岗岩的庄园
有时,我在月光下修剪那草坪
像一个孤身游子回到故乡
走一走童年的稻田埂
那些称他为叔叔的人奇怪地看着他微笑
而他的父母视他为一头散养的牲口,随他去哪
