Xiao Maxian: Before Hunting

   Before Hunting
            by Xiao Maxian  tr. Fan Jinghua
Today, God creates the sun and the moon…and for another day
And one more…
The heat is all ready
The sunset is ready too…as the setting
For your commemoration
You are silent, keeping a cool mind of a hunter
And a leopard is at the corner of your vision
Her spots
So luxurious and proud
Your barrel and cold light can not stop
The logic of a summer
Hunter, this feast you are going to
Should have begun a year ago…
You are but a latecomer
Your primitive forest
Is holding its breath, waiting for your return
To the worship.

  狩猎之前
       小玛仙
今天,上帝创造了日月——还有一天
还有一天……
炎热已经准备好了
夕阳也准备好了——为你做
纪念日的背景
你还是缄默,保持一个猎人的冷静
你的视角出现一只豹子
她的斑点
如此华丽和傲慢
你的枪口和寒光已无法阻止
一个盛夏的逻辑
猎人,你将去赴的这场盛宴其实
已经在一年之前开始……
你不过是一个迟到的人
你的原始森林
敛声静气,一直在等你归来
礼拜。
