【Sing Like a Goose】
By Jade
Autumn morning, 52 degrees, sunny.
you fall into my sight
like a leaf, on the side of the road
your body is cold, eyes still
looking up to the blue sky
is your soul chasing after them?
Under the gravity of the earth
beauty may fall at any moment,
even for creatures like you
with angel like feathers and wings
high above everything, still
not free from uncertainty and coincidence
a sudden swirl of wind, could change
the course of fate
I will make a grand funeral for you,
with my tiny voice and limited means —
when people read my words
they will pause on their runners’ road
take a deep breath, and
start to sing, like a goose
【像鹅一样唱歌】

秋天的早晨,52度, 阳光明媚。
你落入我的视线
像一片叶子,躺在路边
身体已冷, 眼睛
仍然仰望着蓝天
你的灵魂正在追赶它们吗?
在地球的重力下
美好的事物随时都有可能殒落
即使像你这样的生灵
有着天使般的羽毛和翅膀
飞行使你高于一切,却仍然不能超越
不定与巧合的束缚
突然吹来的一股旋风
便有可能改变命运的历程
我想以我微弱的声音和有限的手段
为你举行一个隆重的葬礼 —
当人们读到我的这首诗
他们会在跑步者的道路上停下来
深吸一口气,然后
像鹅一样,开始唱歌
