《準備好了》
文/天朝玉
窗外立著一棵高大的常青樹
新舊枝叉交織纏繞在一起
他已經不能飲水進食了
醫生說聽力是最後消失的感知
所以 我在他的耳邊不停地說著話
家庭成員都從外州飛來了
殯葬計劃已經選好
他最喜歡穿的襯衫也熨燙好了
親愛的上帝，為什麽我還是沒有準備好
鬆開他的手？這雙手現在正緊緊抓住我的手
半個世紀以來, 一直如此
當生命輪回，塵埃落定
那些常青樹枝還會在同一棵樹上
再次相遇嗎？

Ready
By Jade
A tall evergreen tree outside the window
branches intertwined
young and old
He is no longer eating and drinking
doctors say hearing is the last sense to go
so I talked and talked, in his ear
Family members flew in
funeral plans chosen
his favorite shirt to put on ironed
Dear God, why am I still not ready
to let go of his hands, holding mine tightly right now
and for half a century?
Would the evergreen branches
ever meet again, in the same tree, after
dust to dust, ashes to ashes?
