《在父親的氛圍中》
文/天朝玉
我知道 你還在
否則 一聲清脆的呼喚
怎能在黎明前 從我嘴裏脫口而出
而且 連續幾日?
你一定又想聽我叫你 ”爸爸” 了
早晨 我坐在飯桌上
左側是你的座位 和父親節送給你的茶杯
我習慣了 為你熱一碗豆奶
然後 靜靜地與你分吃一根油條
有時 我做一鍋我們都愛吃的麵疙瘩湯 對喝
可是現在 隻有一碗冰冷的 cereal
接住滾燙的眼淚
這幾天 我躺在客廳裏的沙發上睡著了
沙發上還殘留著你的氣味, 毯子和書上也是
在這個世界上 此後漫長的歲月裏
我再也尋不到 掬不起
父親的氣息了
就讓我最後 在父親的氛圍中
安睡幾日

In My Father’s Atmosphere
By Jade
I know you are still here
otherwise, how could a crisp call before dawn
blurted out from me, and
for several days?
you must have wanted to hear me
calling you “dad” again
I sit at the dinner table in the morning
on the left is your seat, and the mug
that I gave you last Father's Day
I used to warm up a bowl of soy milk for you
then quietly shared a fritter
sometimes, I made a pot of dough drop soup
we both ate wholeheartedly, face to face
but now, only a bowl of cold cereal
catching my tears
These days, I fell asleep on the sofa in the living room
your smell is still there, also on the blanket, and books
in this world, and in the coming years
I would never find the smell of my father again
let me enjoy the last few peaceful sleep nights
in my father’s atmosphere
