Fan Jinghua: Roadside Tigerlilies

   Roadside Tigerlilies

Over the weekend, they uprooted and removed
The tigerlilies I used to pass by every morning
Before I could pluck any
Even though it could never be for you
Passing-by the bush reminds me of the life and love of yours
Something else is now planted there
Someone else would love to associate it with someone or something else
Now it is raining, and I am sure the new plant will grow
But I could not even imagine
Whether we could ever get drenched in rains together

   路旁的虎纹百合

我每个清晨路过的那丛虎纹百合
在周末被拔除了
我还没来得及摘下一朵
虽然不可能是为你而采
但是每次路过,我都会想到你的生活与爱
今天,那儿已被种上了别的植物
会有人乐于将它与别的人或别的事联系起来
此刻正下雨,新植物定会长得很好
而我甚至不记得
我们是否曾在雨中一同淋湿
