《叶子和鸟》
冰花
无翅膀的叶子
飞得再高
只是凭借风的力量
落地的鸟
还会再度飞翔
因为有双翅膀
叶子 本属于大地
鸟 才属于天空
Leaves and Birds
by Bing Hua
Translated by Yingcai Xu
A wingless leaf
Can fly high
Because of the wind it resorts to
A landed bird
Can take off again
Because of the two wings it possesses
Leaves are born earthbound
Yet, birds, celestial
From February’s Rose (Finishing Line Press, 2022).
