Fan Jinghua: The Moon Seen at a Parking Lot

  The Moon Seen at a Parking Lot

It is a featureless face, bloated yet flat
Suspending over the low blocks of buildings and trees
Beyond the other end of this airstrip
The hardness of cement shimmers in the blue emptiness of dawn
There is not a fresh cut or a healed scar
This is an illness, maybe with an internal bleeding

The moon’s second coming at a new evening fall
will pop up like a big bubble stuck against the sky ceiling
By then a fishnet will be already cast down and sink
Catching no lighted windows

  从停车场上看月亮

一张没有五官的脸,膨胀而扁平,
在这跑道的另一端上方浮着
下面有建筑与树木低矮的黑块
水泥的冷硬闪着凌晨空洞的蓝光
没有新鲜的刀口或痊愈的伤疤
这是一种病,或许带来内出血

当夜幕再次降临,月亮突然弹出
如大水泡被挡在天空的天花板下
一张网将撒开、沉下
却不会抓住一扇点灯的窗户
            2008年1月26日
