Waiting for the sunset in the library,
And letting history confine all weariness into the books.

The books have been shelved for more than a century.
Would seem as if nothing had ever happened,
Had I not picked one up by chance.

Waiting for dawn in the library,
The paths are still dark and cold from the recent rain.
I look forward to the fresh sunshine.

4 January 2023 in London

在图书馆里等待着日落
让历史把一切的厌倦
禁锢在书里

书已放了百年，
若不是我不经意间拿起
一切仿佛从未发生过

在图书馆里等待着清晨
下过雨的小道尚暗且冷
我期待新鲜的太阳
