来自彗星

英译 / Ye Chun, Melissa Tuckey and Fiona Sze-Lorrain

那天傍晚，我步行回家，

迎面走来陌生的队伍。

他们来自彗星。

来得这么快！

浓雾在田野散开，

晃动虚弱的稻草人。

我快步走过石桥，

看了一眼枯死的流水。

他们紧随而至，

面孔贴住窗玻璃——

那些疯狂的蝴蝶的眼睛！

From a Comet

That night on my way home,

a strange team appeared in front of me.

They were from a comet.

They came so quick!

Thick fog spread out on the field.

The feeble scarecrow swung.

I hurried past the stone bridge,

cast a glance at the depleted water.

They arrived on my toes

and glued their faces on the windowpanes —

crazy butterfly eyes!
