《家》 作者:孟伟
衣柜的角落,躺着 十年前的折叠。
劳损的腰,用着 昨日的检查报告。
出门前,餐盘中躺着 匆忙中掉落的一块黎明。
被走着猫步的太阳,
叼着走了半圈,
又放回原位—— 生怕放学的孩子发现,
追问掉落的悲伤。
没有台词的主角,
只能重复一个动作: 围着饭桌和课桌, 不停地转。
计算着油盐与经纬的比例。
转身的一瞬间,
掉落的书本里,
夹着全家福的铅笔画和一张不肯落地的船票。

In the corner of the wardrobe, lies
a fold from ten years ago.
My strained lower back, carries
yesterday's medical report.
Before leaving, on the plate lies
a slice of dawn dropped in haste.
The sun, walking its catwalk,
carries it half a circle in its mouth,
then puts it back—
lest the child returning from school discover it
and ask about the fallen sorrow.
A leading actor with no lines,
repeating just one gesture:
circling the dinner table and the desk,
endlessly turning.
Calculating the ratio of daily salt to life's latitude and longitude.
In the moment of turning,
from the fallen books drops
a crayon drawing of the family portrait,
and a ticket that refuses to land.
