Fan Jinghua: On the Melting Snow

  On the Melting Snow

You only mentioned snow
In passing
That must be a light one
After several weeks
I’ve almost forget that it is still with you
And so after your lunchtime today
You message me that as you are walking on the thawing
And thinking of me in the distant island country
Never cold
You see that the instant seals your feet impress
Become blurred so soon
I know that is because of the warmth
Like this message
Which makes me guilty for being half-naked

  化雪的路上
你只是无意中提到一次下雪
那应该是一场细雪吧
几周过去了
我几乎已经忘记它一直没有离开你
今天午后你发来短信
说你正走在融化中
想着远方的我
从没冷过
你看到你身后留下的一路封印
很快就模糊了
我当然知道那是因为温暖
犹如这短信
令我为自己的半裸
感到不安
