《斷章》
作者/大衛(wèi) 朗誦/張淑琴

街角風(fēng)中老皮匠坐成雕塑
注視人來人往
擁擠的人潮中有他的親人嗎
他不知道
匆匆的人群中有他曾經(jīng)的身影嗎
他不知道
紛亂的步伐中有他修過的鞋嗎
他不知道
......
他只知道這兒是他的地兒
他或許知道這兒有他的
一針一線一錘一釘
櫛風(fēng)沐雨的一生
他不知道方便了多少人
養(yǎng)活了多少人
再好的膠水粘不住一絲的記憶
粗糙的大手縫補不了溫情
多少悲喜已經(jīng)化為他臉上
童真的傻笑
今天六月一號也是他的節(jié)日
他不知道世界知道
街角雨中老皮匠坐成雕塑
接受冷漠的眼光

Fragment
by David(Yangzhou)

In gusts of wind round the street corner
Sits an old cobbler like a sculpture
Eyes are fixed on passers-by
In the crowds streaming along
Could there be his beloved ones
He knows not
In the bustling crowds to and fro
Could there be the shadow of his past self
He knows not
From among the feet hurrying forward
Could he find shoes he has mended
He knows not
……
He only knows
Here is where he stays for his keep
Perhaps he knows that
Here is where he lives off
his needles, threads, hammers and nails
despite of wind and rain

He does not know
How many he's helped
and provided for
Whatever adhesive
fails to cling to memories of love
Calloused hands
hardly make up for the tender feelings
Joys and sorrows
build up on his face
into childlike smirks
Here comes the Children's Day
And his Day too
Though he does not know
The whole world does

In the ceaseless rain round the street corner
Sits an old cobbler like e a sculpture
overcast in indifferent glances
