Poems from China by Haizi

Summer Sun

Summer

If this street has no shoemaker

I, barefoot

Stand naked in the Sun, watching

I recall the day a child was born

It was meant to be

You came into this world

To stare at the Sun

And your sweetheart

Walking together down this street

Knowing her

Knowing this Sun

Christ entered this world

And grew up under its gaze.

《夏天的太阳》Summer Sun

夏天
如果这条街没有鞋匠

我就打赤脚
站到太阳下看太阳

我想到在白天出生的孩子
一定是出于故意

你来人间一趟
你要看看太阳

和你的心上人
一起走在街上

了解她
也要了解太阳
