Fan Jinghua: Untitled

   Untitled
…and the koi’s catwalk under the fluorescent sun,
your name, your smile, yours …and then another day

I can even see me alone with night,
sharing this cup of wine and scenes to mutter about.

And if there are words, they are the vibratos of Lopatkina’s swan feet;
You listen but do not hear, and the sounds I am making are going away.

Something runs beneath this, academically explicable when I look deep enough into it,
But perhaps we may as well leave it alone at that here-and-now.

   无题
……而锦鲤的猫步在日照的荧光下
你的名字、你的微笑、你的……然后又是一天过去了

这一切令我甚至看到
我与黑夜分享一杯酒,一些可以低语的场景

而词句的颤音绕在拉帕特金娜的天鹅脚尖
你听,但不入耳,我正在制造着远去的声音

那表层下的流动,如果我凝视久了,或许可以进行学术化的解释
但我们还是将它留在那个此时此刻吧
