Ya Mo

SEAGULL

Small wings – and on top of them are
big sea waves rolling

and rolling over. Clean body,
it feeds on dew and sun.

Its long, thin bill picks up stars
and an enormous sea.

It faces the tides, calling out
to its silent companions.

海鸥

海鸥

小小的翅膀上
翻卷着大海的波浪

身子净洁
饱吸露珠、阳光

细长的尖嘴
衔来星空和汪洋

迎着潮汐呼叫啊
唤着沉默的同伴
Close
