【2022春天安魂曲】
文/天玉之
每年的春天 我们吟唱安魂曲 为了
那些未能从冬眠中苏醒的动物
那些飞往南方途中夭折的大雁
那些被大雪压折的常青树,还有
那些未能从低温活过来的多年生植物
2022年的春天 我们吟唱安魂曲 为了
那些被迫持枪抵抗的手臂和骤然停止跳动的心脏
那些百万难民望向家门最后一眼的回眸
那些被战火硝烟剥夺了第一声哭泣机会的婴儿
那些未及给家人带回面包便消逝在炮火中的百姓
那些行驶在安静乡间路上被坦克炮击的老夫妻
那些再也打不开的双肩背书包 行李箱 和年轻的眼睛
慈悲的上帝啊 请遣来天使将他们领入您的天国
赐予他们永恒的安息 并以恒久之光将他们照耀
可是 他们的灵魂又何以得到安息
如果 那些对所有这些暴行负责的人
继续以炮火和硝烟遮蔽春光?
如果 洞穴里的冷血蝙蝠们 正兴奋地尖叫
密谋在未来的春天里 发动类似的偷袭?

【2022 Spring Requiem】
By Tian Yu Zhi
Every spring, we sing a requiem for
Those animals that failed to wake up from hibernations
Those geese who died on their way to the South
Those evergreen trees crushed by heavy snow
Those perennial plants that didn't survive low temperature
In the spring of 2022, we sing a requiem
over and over again, for those
Arms forced to resist with guns and the hearts stopped beating
Those millions of refugees who looked back at their homes for the last time
Those babies who were denied the chance of first cry in the smoke of war
Those who were killed by gunfire before they could bring bread to their families
Those old couples who were shelled by tanks on quiet country roads
Those backpacks, suitcases, and young eyes that can never open again
Merciful God, please send angels to lead them into your kingdom of heaven
Grant them eternal rest, and shine on them with everlasting light
But, how could their souls find rest and peace
If those who are responsible for all these atrocities
Continue to block spring sunlight with fire and smoke of war?
If the cold-blooded bats in the cave are screaming with excitement
Plotting to launch a similar sneak attack in the coming spring?
