【七律】岁末印象（二）
多情遭遇略相同，冷暖零丁一岁中。
人海茫茫寻一粟，前缘一一逐双鸿。
维城再访人安在，槐国重回梦已空。
每望婵娟情未了，两分千里一屏通。
自注：
（1） 维城，指维洛那，罗密欧与朱丽叶居住的城市。
（2） 槐国，指大槐安国，南柯一梦故事里淳于棼梦中所去的国度。
Impression, End of Year (Poem 2)
Love seekers, be aware, love sucks,
I mean, sometimes. Figure it out
one way or the other. Without it,
though, you'll experience warmth
and coldness in loneliness that
might eat you alive in a year.
Why not go out to find that special
drop in the vast sea of people,
even if it might be a wild goose chase.
Romeo and Julia did in Verona.
They succeeded in vain.
They failed in triumph.
All this might have happened in
someone's dream under a giant locust tree
whose hollow is as empty as the dream.
Every time I look at the moon,
I can see love will linger,
and on that silver screen
separated lovers can see each other,
specially at the end of the year.
