Fan Jinghua: Love of Life

    Love of Life

Shared days, we engrave in our palms
There, three lines are linked by another one. A bloodstone of memory

Grows in the clasped hands into a small universe of its own;
Retrospection, however minute, will not locate where the stars
The primitive low fever burns into are embedded on the domes

When a drop of emptiness at a night trickles in the morning,
Is it a beginning or an end? In Time’s whirlpool we breathe
            Jan. 2, 2010


   一生

共有的日子,我们将它们映在各自的掌心
三条线被另一条断续地连接。记忆的鸡血石

从相携的手中长成小小的宇宙,回顾
再细致也无法确认那最原始的低烧
灼成了哪两颗星,镶在手掌的穹拱

当某夜的一颗空寂在翌晨沥沥,那是始还是终
在时间的漩涡中我们呼吸
