母亲（Mother）
文/龙跃国‖译/吴永强
背着星辰，背着老祖屋
在乡村，在城市
不停地东奔西走
时光的风，吹弯了她的腰
却偷不走那一头黑发
七十岁的她，时常
惦念着一亩三分地
总会背着斑驳的黄昏
借一支拐杖
从城市走向老祖屋
Mother
Long Yueguo
With intense nostalgia for the stars and the ancestral house,
Between the countryside and the city,
Mother keeps going back and forth all the time.
The wind of time has hunched her back,
But failed to grab away her black hair.
Though seventy, she is still
Missing that small plot of land.
Always in the mottled light of dusk
And with the help of a walking stick,
Mother keeps walking back to the ancestral house from the city.
