＜端午＞
照例
一只只龙舟
争先恐後
出去
照例
一只只龙舟
垂头丧气
回来
找遍了
所有的大江小河
湖沼沟渠
找遍了
那水花一溅後
一下子便过去了两千多年
且看样子还会绵绵下去的
时间之流
就是不见踪影
或许
我们该
循江入海
或许
我们并不真的知道
屈原的模样

DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL
Routinely
dragon boats
dart out
one after another
Routinely
dragon boats
drag themselves back
one after another
They have been searching
large rivers, small waterways
lakes, ponds, and even ditches
They have been searching
the stream of time
from the instant of splash
that occurred over two thousand years ago
to the foreseeable future
There is just no trace of him
Perhaps
we should
follow the river into the ocean
Perhaps
we don't really know
what does Qu Yuan look like
*The Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the traditional lunar calendar to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan, an ancient patriotic Chinese poet, who drowned himself in a river. It is said that the local people, who admired him, raced out in their boats to save him or at least retrieve his body. This is said to have been the origin of dragon boat races.
