Translated by 星子(Anna Yin)
On the first Friday in May
From the deepest soul of Spring
I make a thunder:
“Terminate the hibernating and secluded life!”
Push open the door and windows
Move plants to the balcony
When sunlight pours through
and crisp bright birdcalls fall from the Douglas fur
Watching a plastic bag gleaming by the street corner
and fresh lawn shining with morning dews
All the happiness I can grasp is here
Is here, right in my hands
Hold a glass of hot milk
Or a cup of green tea
Gazing on those little leaves swirling
Swirling down,
my eyes blaze endless flame
Eager to send a kiss to my faraway lover
Should she know
“Even a tiny patch of sunlight and green
Is that all for me to love to eternity!”
