quietly send you out into the nighta cup of clear green tea turns cloudyStill I sit at desk writing I delete more than I writeNo one asks me to look through the windowbut I always involuntarily look upto see the camphor leaves almost climbing insideThe sky is carved into spaces by branchesthrough which a few birds try to enterI hear their chirps becoming more urgent I hear a mother outside calling her children and her children continue to skateboardas though their lives depended on it![]()
Green hair clips, red hair bandsblack trains gushing white steama tank of colourful tropical fish distracting the sleepy catthe freshly surfaced road captures the footprints of every step taken Morning glory blooming, toes poking through the cloth shoes made by mother Mickey Mouse on a wrapper tasting the sweetness for meThe meaning of a logo on a pack of cigarettes Pigeons sounded, like the sky talking to itself and the lonely lad playing marbles all alone Mother’s Love Continues in My Dream My mother always loves me in my dreams. where mothers still workingand we (a broken family in reality)all sit around the table eatingDeath has never been thereIn my dreams, mother strokes my foreheadmaking sure I’m safe and sound.There is a glow around herand a warmth makes me believe it’s true. ![]()
At the Farmers’ Market in Alxa Youqiwho held a baby in one armwhile choosing vegetables at the market her eyes were not like those of the localssomeone quietly watching hershe moved the child from one arm to the otherand held a basket of greens in her right handI felt that once we’d left this marketwe would never meet againbut I remember the look in her eyes neither superficial nor fleeting I believe that look had always lived thereI have lived here for twelve yearsTonight with a wet tissueI carefully wipe the door of my study it’s stained with smoke and the tissue turns yellowBlistering paintwork on the doorand also that of time, time dragging bya truth inscribed on every single faceBut time is also gone too soonTwelves years ago I first came heremy new-born baby girl in the hospitalWhether or not I can see her,successive moment of her life, 本辑的五首诗歌关乎于时间和记忆的奥秘。在张执浩的作品《天色慢慢暗下来》中，直至夜幕降临，诗人仍坐着创作和编写诗歌。
黄昏里的诗句可以
杯中的茶，窗边沙沙作响的花园植物，闯入视线的鸟儿等不断变化着的事物，以及鸟鸣声、母亲呼唤孩子的声音，分散了作者的注意力。而窗外的孩子们却对这一切都视而不见，他们眼里只有脚下踩着的滑板带来的快乐。所有这些纷扰和作者经历的种种，都在本诗中占据着非常重要的地位，就像发生在我们生活中一样。世界蕴藏在诗歌中，而诗歌最终又回归于世界。
阳飏的作品《少年忆》以年轻人喜欢的鲜艳色彩作为全诗的开篇。从亮丽的发夹和头绳渐渐延伸到一系列更为广泛的联想，包括沥青上的脚印，鱼缸里鱼儿身上摇曳的色彩，艳丽的糖果包装，和鸟鸣声中一位在街上独自玩耍的少年。这一切构成了童年的动人回忆，也让读者回想起自己过去的记忆和经历。
成群的鸽哨，天空自言自语
玩玻璃弹球的少年一个人孤零零
接下来是臧海英的作品《母亲在梦中一直爱我》。诗歌讲述了记忆和时间是如何被梦境所改变的，脑海中魔法般的想象让童年得到延续，也带回了多年前的快乐时光。从这个层面来看，梦境与诗有着相似的魔力。这首诗捕捉并展现了这样一个梦:
母亲在梦中一直爱我。
梦中我始终是孩子
她也永远年轻。
本辑的第四首诗歌是杨森君的作品《在阿拉善右旗农贸市场》。这首诗回忆了作者在市场上遇到一位年轻女子的难忘经历。事实上并没有任何特别的事情发生，但女子的面貌给诗人留下了深刻而久远的印象。这位妇人只是抱着她的孩子，买了一些蔬菜。然而从那以后，她脸上的宁静与忧伤，就一直留存在诗人的意识中，似乎漂浮在某个超越了时间的地方。
… 我记住了她眼中的
宁静与忧伤——
那不是表面的、片刻的
我相信她已经享受了很久
本辑的最后一首诗来自李黎的作品《十二年》。诗歌开头的几句话总结了人生经历中有关时间的奥秘，为什么它看起来很长，却又很短暂:
我在这里住了十二年
这是漫长的岁月
诗人观察着时间对他周围环境产生的影响。他擦去门上的污渍，看到了日渐褪去的油漆。而他记忆中最为强烈的，便是他的女儿还是个小婴儿时在医院陪着她母亲的光景。他思索了此后女儿生命中的每一个时刻，并得出结论，生命中被爱的愿力总是显得过于短暂。
这段时光，甚至更长的
一生之内的时光，只要被记起
就只能称为短暂
These five poems are concerned with the mysteries of time and memory. In Zhang Zhihao’s ‘Getting Dark’ the poet sits writing and editing poetry as evening approaches.quietly send you out into the nightThe speaker is distracted by the changing appearance of tea in a cup, of a garden plant rustling against the window, of the sight and sound of birds, and by the sound of a mother calling in her children. The children, however, are oblivious of everything except the present pleasure of skateboarding. All these apparent distractions and experiences turn out to be important to the poem, as they are in our lives. The world comes into the poem and then the poem goes back out into the world.‘Memories of Adolescence’ by Yang Yang begins with the vivid colours relished by young people. It starts with bright hair clips and headbands but soon proceeds to a wider range of associations. These include footprints in asphalt, the flickering colours of fish in a tank, gaudy sweet wrappers and the sound of birds as a youngster plays alone in the street. All these details add up to a moving evocation of childhood and invite the reader to reflect on their own past memories and experiences.Pigeons sounded, like the sky talking to itselfand the lonely lad playing marbles all alone‘Mother’s Love Continues in My Dream’ is by Zang Haiying. It talks about how memory and time are transformed by dreams, magical imaginative experiences where childhood may continue and happy times from years ago may persist. In this respect, dreams can be similar to poems. This poem captures and shares such a dream:My mother always loves me in my dreams.Yang Senjun’s poem, the fourth of our present selection, is called ‘At the Farmers’ Market in Alxa Youqi’. The poem recalls the memorable experience of meeting a young woman at the market of the title. Nothing really happens, but the sight of the woman makes a deep and lasting impression on the speaker of the poem. The woman simply holds her baby and buys some vegetables. Yet the impression of quiet sadness in her face has remained in the speaker’s consciousness ever since and seems to float somewhere beyond time.… I remember the look in her eyesneither superficial nor fleetingI believe that look had always lived thereThe final poem of the group is Li Li’s ‘Twelve Years’. The opening lines sum up the mystery of time in human experience, how it can seem very long and very short at the same time:I have lived here for twelve yearsThe speaker observes the effect of time on his immediate surroundings. He wipes stains from the door and looks at the deteriorating paint work. But his most intense memories are of his daughter when she was a baby still in hospital with her mother. He reflects on each of the subsequent moments in his daughter’s life, and concludes that the life of a loved will will always seem much too short:successive moment of her life,
