外星人不知道他们不存在

冬天  我们谈论文学
喝着热茶  睫毛笼罩在蒸汽里

外星人像一张废纸
静静地飞过窗口  飞向哈尔滨

关于城市  我还记得  巴尔扎克说过
没有风  要柳树干什么

November 24th

An alien has no idea that it doesn’t exist

In winter       we discuss literature
drinking hot tea       Eyelashes shroud themselves in steam

An alien like a sheet of scrap paper
slowly flies over the window       toward Harbin

I remember       what De Balzac once said       regarding cities
without wind       what use is the willow?
