Fan Jinghua: This Season Needs Sunshine…

  This Season Needs Sunshine…
Everyone has crawled out of their poorly-lit cave,
so vulnerable to clouds.

   * * *
I’ll take out all my salt bottles
from my kitchen cupboard, from my bathroom shelves,
and scatter my salt around the root of peach trees
in your night garden
to melt the last whites of snow,
to nourish the pretty faces you wake to meet.

   * * *
Everyone needs caress in spring,
I need your smile to caress the breeze
that then stirs and echoes in my cave.

  这个季节需要阳光……
每个人都从照明不足的洞穴中爬出来,
如此易感于阴云。

   * * *
我将拿出我所有的盐瓶,
从厨房的柜子里,从浴室的层架上,
洒在你黑夜花园的桃树下
融化那最后一小片寒冷,
给那些娇美的笑容提供营养,
迎接你的醒来。

   * * *
每个人都需要在春天里有人的抚触,
我需要你的微笑抚触春风,
需要那春风然后回荡在我的洞穴。
