Poetry: The Impression of Summer by Shen Wei

夏日印象    沈苇

 

夏日几块石头停在河边喝水

一只火鸡的颈脖埋进白色的水域

陈年的薄冰在深处呼吸

  

裸体的白昼,浑身冒着青烟

坐进干掉的松木水桶

正午与鸟停在头顶,静止不动

时间被无限拉长,成为一根透明的

丝线

  

风的拐杖丢失在路上

回头一望,爱情在草丛里静

The Impression of Summer
by Shen Wei tr Lush Greenness

  

On a summer day a few stones rest waterside having a drink. 

     
A turkey puts its long neck into the off-white water, and
Pieces of thin ice kept in store for ages are breathing in depth.
  
The naked daylight sends out curls of smoke at every pore,
To find itself seated in a dried-up pine bucket.
Both high noon and birds pause overhead, motionless
Time, boundlessly elongated, becomes a transparent
Silk thread.

The wind abandons its walking stick on the road, and
Around the corner behind, love is decaying silently in the growth of grass.
