皱纹

白天
密布在你漠漠脸上
这些时间的运河
是乾涸的
只偶而有风砂
飒飒横过

但每夜
水自深处汹汹涌起
漫出眼睛的古井
将它们一一注满

而你便如首次出航的水手
兴奋地驾起
破旧的记忆之舟
在这没有出口的迷阵里
左冲右突
直到天明

WRINKLES

during the day
these canals of time crisscrossing
your indifferent face
are dry
only occasionally the wind
blows sand across

but at night
water rises from the deep well
of your eyes
overflows and fills them

then like a first-time sailor
you set the ragged sail of your boat
of memory
jostling about all night
in the labyrinth that has no outlet
till dawn

This poem reminds me of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage by George Byron

What is the worst of woes that wait on age?
What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?
To view each loved one blotted from life's page,
And be alone on earth, as I am now.

wonderful images.

What is the worst of woes that wait on age?
What stamps the wrinkle deeper on the brow?
To view each loved one blotted from life's page,
And be alone on earth, as I am now.

----nice, I will try to google it.

Looking in the mirror
I see a few lines on my forehead
Horrified, and ask myself
Is there any wrinkle on my soul
Then troubled by the fleeting thought
What is the worst of woes
That wait on age
