脸（双语诗）

我年幼时

你是我的向日葵

（梵高笔下的向日葵）

给我阳光

给我希望

给我方向

我而立时

你是我眼中

素雅高洁的菊花

（我本应更钟情桂花的）

我喜欢诗界誉你

“人淡如菊”

我喜欢称你“诗人老爸”

这张脸

这张人世间最可爱的脸

有着鲁迅的剑眉

有着鲁迅的眼神

顶部甚至竖着鲁迅的平头发型

现着儒气

映着侠骨

溢着柔情

那皱纹

也是花的纹理

这是人世间最干净的脸

从不涂脂

从不抹粉

但有一天，你被画了妆

淡淡的

柔柔的

美美的

这是你生平第一次化妆

也是给世界留下的最后色彩

我把最深情的吻

印在了上面，永远的——

而你的脸

成了我后半生的后视镜

Face

When I was a kid,

You were my sunflower

(Van Gogh's sunflower),

Giving me sunshine,

Giving me hope,

Giving me directions as well.

When I was in my thirties,

You were an elegant and lofty chrysanthemum in my eyes

(I should have loved osmanthus more

Which takes the sound and sense of my surname).

I appreciate the compliments the poetic circle honor you:

"You are desireless like chrysanthemum (or daisy). "

I am always delighted to call you "my poet dad".

Your face, I should say,

Is the most lovely one in the world,

With the sword-like eyebrows of Lu Xun's *,

With the insightful eyes of Lu Xun's,

Even with Lu Xun's hair style straight like a brush on end.

Your face

Is an incarnation of Confucian temperament,

A mirror of chivalrous spirit,

And a pool of softness and tenderness.

Even your wrinkles

Are like the texture of a beautiful flower.

This is the cleanest face ever seen in the world,

Never made up,

Never prettified.

But one day, your face was painted,

Light,

Soft,

Graceful.

This was the first makeup in your life,

Also your last wisp of color left in this world.

I printed my most affectionate and ever-lasting kiss

On your beloved face.

And your face has naturally become

The rear view mirror for the rest of my life.
