Fan Jinghua: A Sheet of Paper

   A Sheet of Paper

You look up and see the sky, and the sky is empty.
Your index fingernail draws an arch across the paper, and you see the trail.
When you look up again, the wild geese have gone,
And you use a blue pen to trace the weight-losing line.

Eventually, the paper will be crunched, the initial intent of the line lost,
And you feel the uncleanness and hurt welling up already;
But an exit is hidden there as a tunnel, unfathomable.
Your eyes squint into a depth, and the thought of winds brings you trembles.

  一张纸
       [赠人]
你抬头,你看到天空,天空是空的
你的指尖划过纸面,你低头看到暗痕
再抬头时,雁阵不见了
于是你的蓝水笔描出了正在失去的痕迹

最终,那张纸会被揉皱,线条失去原有的意图
你已感到龌龊与疼由内涌起
可那里隐藏了一个入口,你不知其深浅
你向往,于是一阵阵风令你惊颤
