拥有一个小菜园的邻居

终于开始捕杀后院的兔子了

 

发现一只躺在我的草坪上

靠近它时 它侧着身子想跑 

已经跑不动了

我闭上眼 让人了结了它的苦痛

 

给经常来我前院花丛的一只幼兔

放了些白菜芯和切碎的胡萝卜

”吃吧 从此你就要自己开火做饭了。。。

不过 以后你尽可到我的园子里蹭一顿”

 

你不必再大睁着眼睛 竖耳斜眼瞄着我

时刻准备逃离

我也不会再满园去追

嘴里叼着薰衣草花的你了

 

其实 在人间 你与我多么相似 ——

都是失去了亲人的天物

都揣着一颗心惊胆战的心 活着

My neighbor who owns a small vegetable garden

Finally started to hunt rabbits in the backyard

 

I found one lying on my lawn

When approached it, it leaned on its side and tried to run

But it couldn’t run anymore

I closed my eyes and asked someone to end its pain

 

I put out some cabbage hearts and chopped carrots

For a baby rabbit often seen among flowers in my front yard

"Go ahead and eat. From now on, you will have to find food for yourself…

But, you can always come to my garden for a meal."

 

You no longer need to keep your eyes wide open on me，

Ready to flee at any time；

I won't chase after you all over the garden anymore,

When you hold lavender flowers in your mouth

 

Actually, in this world, how similar you are to me ——

We are all heavenly things who have lost our loved ones；

We both live with a heart beating in fear and worries
