Sleep well my child
Sleep well my child
- A lament for a lost child in the earthquake
No, you were not like this before – lying there, breathless.
Never! Your shirt is wrinkled with dirt, your tangled hair
covering a smeared face that wears a painful frown.
A girl amiable to everyone in this little town,
now has fallen asleep too early too soon, even without
giving me a good-night hug, without, as usual, waiting
for me to tuck you up. I’ll not wake you up my child, but
gently I’ll clean your face with my tears, comb your hair
into a smooth ponytail and set the alarm clock for the dawn.
What’s in your dream? Homework? House chores?
Put them all aside for now because you are so tired.
Sleep well my child, sleep well in my arms…

语流、语气、语感、语言有点像散文吧? |

谢谢。 是和我写的另外一首地震诗的风格不同。
有没有点像 lament? |
