土坯墙
陈咏华
土坯墙倒下，一声叹息
让一位老人久立不走
这倒下的是他的
太多记忆，也是恋恋不舍
他的皱纹里已刻着
眼前的倒下
以及这房屋内外的
唠叨不休的穷困岁月
倒下的墙土的烟尘
散发在他周围
他俯下身
抓了一把墙土看了又看
他望了望天空
望了望四野
转过身去，扛着铮亮的铁锹
向青枝绿叶的山上走去

Adobe Wall
by Chen Yonghua
The adobe wall collapsed with a gasp,
causing an old man to linger before it.
What came down with the wall
were his memories, too precious to let go.
Engulfed in his deep wrinkles
are the fall of the wall before his eyes,
and the nagging poverty year after year,
in and out of the house.
The cloud of dust from the fallen wall
settled around him.
He leans over and grabs
a handful of soil and looks at it again and again.
He looks up at the sky,
looks around himself, turns around,
and, with a shiny shovel on his shoulder,
walks towards the lush blue hills.
