ZHAO Dongni: a poem

　　Untitled
　　　　　　　by ZHAO Dongni
If you see Dali’s clockface
Softer than dough, you will be surprised
By the doubt as to whether our arms in lamplight
Really have a luster of pearls

But clocks tick and tremble
The grayish green fog
And the night holds nothing but their sound
　　　　　　　　Tr. FAN Jinghua

　　诗一首
　　　　　赵冬妮
如果看到达利的软表
比面团还软，你会惊讶
我们灯光下的手臂
是否真的有过珍珠般的光泽
时针滴答着晃动
青灰色的夜雾
只剩下声音

I just this small poem by my friend Zhao Dongni, who wrote this one a couple of years ago when she was in Australia (?). It is one section in a prose, therefore there is not title.
