Self-Warming
[After a Photo by
Iranian Artist BahareH BisheH]
I cannot tell you how my mother looks like
She has never been by my side
But I know what a mother is
My mother has a loose jilbab
And I was inside it and now I am outside
Now I draw my mother on the ground
So when I lie on her, I am inside too
And I will not fall
I can hear warnings from my mother’s heart
Whenever something comes near
Please do not tread these lines
Because they house me, swaddling my dreams

自暖
(据伊朗摄影艺术家BahareH
BisheH的一幅作品而作)
我不能告诉你我妈妈的样子
她从没在我身边出现过
但我知道妈妈是怎样的
她有一件非常宽松的长袍
我以前在里面,现在在外面
我把妈妈画在地上,那么
我躺在她上面,也就躺在她里面
这样我就不会摔倒掉出来
要是有什么东西走近
我能听到从妈妈心里传来的警告
请你们不要踩到这些线
因为它们罩着我,裹着我的梦
