2009.3.22北京后海茶舍
March 22,2009in Houhai teahouse in Beijing
注:央视新址,因先锋怪异的造型,被北京市民嘻称“大裤衩子”。
2009年元宵节央视新址一把大火烧了多少亿?央视至今避而不谈.
Note:The CCTV new site is called “Big Underpants”jokingly by Beijing people,because of its pioneering and strange shape.
How many million RMB worth of damage did the big fire at the new CCTV site during the 2009Lantern Festival cause?CCTV has avoided to report till now.

017首:三月风
Statue 17:March Wind
这时是三月
it is the days of March
少妇隆起的
the land which like
小腹样的土地
the bulging lower abdomen of a young married woman
温暖着许多欲望
warms so much desire
油菜花开
the rape flowers in bloom
荠菜花开
the shepherd’s purse flowers in bloom
幻想爬上返青的山峦
they are dreaming to climb up the reviving hill
一不小心
but carelessly
被踏青的游人
being carried to the table
端上餐桌
by the tourists going for an outing in spring
根本不需要太多的语言
not too much words needed at all
不要反复斟酌诗
do not weigh repeatedly poetry
或别样文体
or other styles of writing
抓一把油黑发亮的禾苗
grasping a handful of dark green rice shoots
自然把眼前的阡陌
naturally you will consider the crisscross footpaths before us between fields
误读为诗行
as poem lines by mistake
摘一朵枝头含羞的桃花
picking a shy peach flower on the branches
自然会想起许多
naturally it will remind you of many
浪漫的故事
romantic stories
面向大海
looking out across the sea
春暖花开
all the flowers bloom in the warmth of spring
都说江南三月好
everybody praises the early spring in the south
弄花粉蝶沐柔风
white butterflies gathering honey in gentle breeze
