迟到的悼歌

—为地震中丧生的学生们而写

早在他们打下不稳固的地基

架上偷工减料的屋梁

粉刷摇摇欲倒的墙壁的时候

我们就该为你们唱悼歌的

而我却都保持缄默

直到地震无情的怪手

一下子把校舍推毁

将你们活埋

才来呼天抢地

唱迟到的悼歌

A BELATED DIRGE

-- for the students who perished in recent earthquakes

we should have sung the dirge for you

when they put down the shaky foundation

propped up shoddy beams

and whitewashed cruddy walls

Yet we all kept silence

waited for the earthquake to strike

burying you alive

now all we can do is wail

and sing a belated dirge
