幸存者 康 雪
2020已为每个人准备了
千万种死亡方式——
让肺部变成干透的丝瓜
与公交一起坠湖
像鱼一样被洪流卷入深渊
……每天早上醒来
我知道自己是幸存者。
夜里入梦
我也只是做着幸存者的梦。
如果乐观一些，上班路途
我会给芋叶上的水珠
拍照，只是拍照
如果问我期望怎样活着？
想做一个水珠研究者。
狭窄一些，只是芋叶上的
水珠研究者：
它们从何而来？消逝于何处？
我知道明天，提起死亡
仍不胜悲哀
但在这辽阔的芋叶上
死亡只是一种向内的闪耀。

The Surviver
by Kang Xue
Year 2020 has prepared for us
numerous ways to die——
dried-up loofah lungs,
a crashed bus in the lake, or
being swallowed up by whirlpools like a fish…
Each morning when I wake up,
I look at myself as a survivor.
My dreams at night
are also about survival.
With a little optimism, on the way to work,
passing the taro leaves with water droplets,
I would take a snap, a simple photograph.
If you should ask me about my aspiration,
I would answer: a student of water droplets,
or, more precisely, a student of
water droplets on taro leaves:
where do they come from and what is their end?
I know a little about tomorrows, but the idea of death
still fills me with deep sorrows.
But, on a taro leaf, so huge and wide,
death takes the center stage, with a shine.
