春天的符号学
春天所呈现的一切都是某种隐喻
比如草绿了，虫子钻出地面
春水安静地流淌，空气里有霾，
城市被沙尘堵住了出气孔
无论灰霾和沙尘暴怎样肆虐
柳树照例伸出绿色枝条来表白湖水
鸟儿一如既往，向每扇窗户献唱
但人的耳朵只是摆设，他的目光落在
蹿出地面的虫子上，鸟儿享用了它的早餐
我门前的玉兰树花开茂盛
花朵隐去了往年的颜色
沙尘之后，蓝天空旷
我经过的春天空无一物……

English translation:
Semiotics of spring
Everything spring presents is to some extent a metaphor
when grass turns green, earthworms out of the ground
spring water flows quietly, there is haze in the air,
city vents clogged with sandstorms
No matter how smog and sandstorms are raging
willow tree stretches out its green branches to express to the lake
doves as always sing to every window
but man's ears are just for display, his gaze falls
on the worm that burrowed out of the ground, robin enjoyed its breakfast
The magnolia tree in front of my door is in full bloom
the flowers have lost the colors of previous years
after the sandstorm, the sky is vainly open and blue in distance
the spring I sway by emptied its domain...
