The Girl Next Door Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ The Girl Next Door

☆ Poetry and Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


That year
You and I in the same age

You pretty
And plump and tall
Very Man
I was inferior by comparison
Short and childish

Because of your tall
Suddenly met at the corner of the street
I just missed
Iron carrying pole on your shoulder
So dangerous

Nowadays
Fifty years have passed.
You are a grandmother
Children and grandchildren around your knees

Ah
The girl next door
Where are you now?

★ 邻家女孩

☆ 罗志海 新诗


那年
你我同龄

你出落得
魁梧，高大
很man
我相形见绌
矮小，童稚

正因为你tall
街角突遇
我才错过
你肩上铁扁担
好险

如今
50年past
你已是祖母绿
子孙绕膝

A
邻家女孩
你在何方
