月（与感情），白色栀子小花

给你寄信的这个早晨阴雨绵密

我故意没有打伞右臂夹着信件左手持花

六朵幼弱的白色兰花

将陪伴信件穿越千山万水到达你的身边

代替我吐露毫不起眼却香气浓郁的小小心事

它们来自我现在所在普通乡下小镇的普通集市

我被雨水和泥土和农作物混合的气味深深打动

他则买下好几束正在盛开的栀子花和刚刚成熟的水蜜大桃子

送给每一个女生

卖花和桃子的阿婆朴实热情而和蔼

这一天我身穿黑色带小碎花的棉布裙

我喜欢把此时的身体与心坦露在雨中

他跟我保持一定距离不说话

这里很少见到月

这里的月（与感情）忽隐忽现

他说月一直在那只是眼睛看不到

白色栀子小花也不管我愿不愿意

就把她的香气深潜进我

内心深处

2014年5月·小镇洛带

p.s.

小镇的生活全部都是微不足道的

我们都喜欢小而安静的地方，喜欢月亮

那时我们可能有在偷偷的互相喜欢

但那并不是多么重大的事情

我们老早就不在一起了

白色栀子小花知道一切

那时我还没开始写小说

他呢……是个僧侣

The Moon (and Feelings), Little White Gardenia

English Translation

by Eterna Journal Team

In the gentle rain, I mailed this letter to you,

intentionally carrying no umbrella.

The letter tucked beneath my right arm,

and flowers clutched in my left hand.

Six delicate white orchids

will travel with the letter

across mountains and rivers

until they reach your side,

whispering in my place

of the trivial yet fragrant thoughts.

They came from an ordinary market

in the ordinary little country town where I am now.

The mixed scent of rainwater, earth, and crops

deeply touched me.

He bought blooming gardenias and large, fresh peaches,

and gave them out to every girl

The old lady selling flowers and peaches

was simple, warm, and kind.

That day, I wore a black cotton dress

patterned with tiny flowers.

I liked to open my body and heart to the rain.

He kept a certain distance from me,

saying nothing.

Here, you can rarely see the moon

Here, the moon (and feelings, too)

dimly appears.

He said the moon is always there

only that our eyes cannot see it

And the little white gardenia,

without asking for my permission,

sank her fragrance in me,

to the depth of my heart

P.S.

Life in this little town

was made up of insignificant matters.

We both liked small, quiet places

We both liked the moon.

Perhaps

we secretly liked each other back then.

But it was never anything too important:

Our paths have long since diverged

The little white gardenia

knows everything.

At that time,

I had not yet begun to write.

And he...

was a monk.
