除夕


对三百多个没发芽的日子

也只有这样狠下心来

爆米花般把它们爆掉



而经历过枪林弹雨的手

引燃这么一串无害的鞭炮

却依然战战兢兢

如临大敌


CHINESE NEW YEAR

Maybe it’s the only way
to pop the dud days of the gone year

yet in lighting a string of firecrackers
hands that survived bullets and shells
still tremble uncontrollably
as if facing a fierce enemy

[海外逸士]

除夕=The Eve of Chinese New Year

The Chinese original and the English version does not completely match.
