Fan Jinghua: I'll Avoid the Next Poem

　　I'll Avoid the Next Poem

From now on, I’ll avoid the next poem
And stay close to unadorned everyday life and you
My hands will be used only to grasp and embrace
Instead of turning the visible into words
All the invisible, far or near, I will no longer
Try to replace with written signs. All the poems
Written or to be composed will be put into my eyes
For those who read no words to understand.
I will not show myself in any parade for any appeal;
Rather, I’d look into a mirror, smile and say “see you.’’

　　我将躲开下一首诗

从今起　我将躲开下一首诗
紧挨着素朴的日常与你
我的手将只用于把握和拥抱
不再将看得见的置换成文字
而看不见的一切　无论远近
我都不再企图以语言替代
已经写出与仍未写出的　我将
尽数放入眼底　只为心有灵犀的人
我会继续拒绝为任何声势充数游行
宁可独自对着镜子点头微笑说”回见”
