信 差

 

從故鄉來的那個人

把一隻手臂交給海裡的鯊魚

把滴血的心交給香港的巡捕

把夢交給現實

把沉默交給這熙熙攘攘的世界

便頭也不回地走了

 

母親我收到您的信了

您長長的信

寫在他輕蔑的一瞥裡

 

信 差

 

从故乡来的那个人

把一只手臂交给海里的鲨鱼

把滴血的心交给香港的巡捕

把梦交给现实

把沉默交给这熙熙攘攘的世界

便头也不回地走了

 

母亲我收到您的信了

您长长的信

写在他轻蔑的一瞥里

A MESSENGER

 

 

after handing his arm to the shark in the sea

his bleeding heart to the Hong Kong police

his dream to reality

his silence to this noisy world

the man returned to his hometown

without ever looking back

 

O Mother I have received your letter

your long long letter

written on his contemptuous glance

 

Note: In the seventies of last century,  Hong Kong authority routinely returned Mainland Chinese refugees who risked their lives swimming across shark-infested waters to reach the free shores.
