Waiting for my swallows to return by Pillow Frost

[snowynight]

◎我等燕归来 文/ 枕上霜 你一来，春天就开了 你一来，我就 开了。 每一次绽放，必定惊动月光 湖水。每一次苏醒，耗去一屋子的黑。现在 燕子被三月剪掉尾巴 我们谁也看不见。从此 只化桃花妆，饮桃花酒，穿桃红衣 一张空床位，贴着有关前世的符咒 时光从水里复苏。一个女子 从一首诗里沉下去。我必须摸出牌底 亮出春天的颜色，与你做最后的商榷 那么，我允你往南飞去 你亦要允我，吃雪、写诗。允我爬上大树 并以叶为翅，飞过最低的河流

◎Waiting for my swallows to return by Pillow Frost tr. Lush Greenness The instant you come，the spring starts to flower. The instant you come, I am In full bloom. Each floral bursting is bound to startle the moonlight. The lake water, at its resuscitation, consumes a houseful of darkness. Now The swallows have their tails cut by the third month, so that None of us can see them. Since then I prefer to put on peach-petal makeup, dink peach blossom wine, and wear peach red dresses. A vacant bed is tagged with an amulet about the former world. Time and light revives in water. A female is gradually Sinking into a poem. I have to put out the cards in hand To show the countenance of springtime. I’ll consult ultimately with you. In that way, l consent you to flying southward. You should allow me to eat snow, and write poetry. I should get your permission to climb up a big tree And use tree leaves as wings to fly over the lowermost rivers.
