The Sunshine From Left Poem by Haiqing Hua

The sunshine from left
Oliver Hua
January 6th,2019, Toronto

The sunshine in my memory
They always penetrate from left of my desk
I always observe the dancing dust amongst sunshine
They are the dancers under the Neon Lightings

They are all in silky bolt ties
The slender skirts
Cutaways

All the legends about the western world
They are coming from import film, magazine and far-off whispers
The most exciting parties
Do not need luxury banquet

Youths in Lenin Coat
They sit on the ground talking
They talk in command of winds, clouds, rivers and mountains.

The sunshine from left
They have brightened our dream colors
The dream rises amongst hunger and poverty

Those numerous sagas
They have built the splendid history of our old generations

Do you remember?
We swim in the middle of current
A speedy boat leaves all the waves behind

Today, the sunshine also penetrates from left of the window
History has changed completely
Our dream has landed
The legends become normal routines

Our days are just like the dusts inside this sunshine
They have collapsed as those dusts
In the corner that nobody would even notice



左侧的阳光
华海庆
2019年1月6日多伦多

记忆中的阳光
总是从写字桌的左侧射入窗棂
阳光中的灰尘在飞舞
如同霓虹灯下的舞者

丝绸的领结
幔帐般的纱裙
燕尾服

所有西方世界的传说
来自进口电影、画报和靡靡之音
最令人鼓舞的聚会
可以没有丰盛的宴席

穿着列宁装的青年
席地而坐侃侃而谈
指点江山叱咤风云

左侧的阳光
曾经照耀过理想的色彩
饥饿和贫穷中的崛起

无数的英雄事迹
造就的老一辈的辉煌

曾记否
到中流击水
浪遏飞舟

今天的阳光也是从窗棂的左侧射入
历史完全改变
理想落地
传说变得平凡无比

日子如同光线中的凡尘
堆积起来的记忆
在无人注意的角落中
坍塌成灰
