A Star's Burial

Shallow blue evening spills over the sill - summer is overfull.
Firefly lanterns dream away
of Tang palaces, of being chased by delicate fans.

A dream of another summer night, a star's burial.
A dream of a flashing stroke and destruction -
of your surprise, my recognition, and a pale, confounded moment.

星之葬

浅蓝色的夜溢进窗来，夏斟得太满
萤火虫的小宫灯做着梦
梦见唐宫，梦见追逐的轻罗小扇
　
梦见另一个夏夜，一颗星的葬礼
梦见一闪光的伸延与消灭
以及你的惊呼，我的回顾，和片刻的愀然无语
