Search for Mails    Hsu ChiCheng

I open my mailbox to search for mails every day

Yet it makes me disappointed each time

For the letter I am waiting has not arrived yet

It keeps making me disappointed

As time flies away

Wrinkles appear on my face like mountains

And my head has been covered with snow now

The dusk of life is closing in on me

I am waiting, fidgety or restless

As an ant in a hot pan

O, the pigeon with an olive branch in break

Where are you now?

I wish you would come together with peace

Before the sunset!

Poems of the World Volume 19#3

附中文原詩如后:

探取信件    許其正

每天我都向信箱探取信件

不管信件有多少都令我失望

我等的信件怎麼都沒來？

重複這樣的動作越多我越失望

日子不停地過去

不僅我的額頭疊出了許多山川

連頭上也堆滿了厚厚的雪

日暮黃昏越逼越近

我越來越感到等不及了

憂心如焚，燒灼我心

口銜橄欖枝的鴿子呀

你在哪裡？

願你在日落之前

盡快帶來和平！
