酷我-北美枫

The mail was heavy
from my home place,
It traversed this crowded city,
with my father's fingerprints.

My heart was entwined with vines
for the love I was hunting for;
and a long trace of
the past footprints.

Under that old elm tree,
they were smiling to me,
with mottled sunlight on their faces.
clinging to the tree, like branches.

As a leaf with a butterfly's wing,
I left the family tree behind,
for a dream of love seeds
and nightingale's croons.

They never waded farther than me,
and their mail followed as a shadow.
The love I lost in this involute city,
blew the wilted leaf to the faraway home.

我年轻的时候总是向往远方,一心想离家.当时写过一首诗:
=================
种子

绿色的灵魂,不该安于贫困
那能守着一方黄土侍奉晨昏?!
带着饥渴到远方寻求吧
这种背叛,正是因为爱得深沉

君天

Under that old elm tree,
they were smiling to me,
with mottled sunlight on their faces.
clinging to the tree, like branches.

As a leaf with a butterfly's wing,
I left the family tree behind,
for a dream of love seeds
and nightingale's croons.

脸上洒满阳光的老树向你微笑；为了梦想漂泊，就像一片树叶随蝴蝶的翅膀一起离开亲情树——你的英文诗有汉诗意境的美，北美风中有汉唐风啊，因为汉语在你的血液中流淌，而这汉语的血液为英文诗增添了美和魅力

我也喜欢这首。家远隔重洋时，思念愈密。
