Soft day - Duan Qingqing / 缎轻轻

Duan Qingqing / 缎轻轻




Soft day

History won't keep my name
Being a writer, whatever I had expressed
Only would attach to a yellow leaf eventually, and shin with brown spots of
Old age, spinning in the wind, experiencing
Ebbinghaus forgetting curve
-- Trembling, remembering, forgetting

At the moment when time stretches, a young mother
Holding her child
Waits under the metasequoia tree. This pure and soft day
Leaves nothing in the fermentation of the world




柔软之日

历史不会留下我的名字
而我，一个写作者，表达过什么
终会附着一片黄叶，它浑身闪烁老年的
褐色斑点，在风中旋转，历受
艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线
——颤抖、铭记、忘却

而时间拉伸的瞬间，一个年轻母亲
正牵着她的孩子
在水杉树下等候。这纯洁、柔软之日
在世界的醇酿中并无印记
