這個夜晚格外冷其木格
和一場雪有關
和一直等待的心情有關
燈光下，她把拼湊的詞語
扔給窗外的風
它們在夜色裡
打了一個寒噤之後
消失不見
她把孤獨放大，從深秋抽出手
儀式感落下破碎
指尖寒涼，席捲全身山川溝壑
關好窗門，抱緊雙肩
才發現，那場還在路上的雪
早已在額上，生根

This Evening is So Very Cold
by Qi Muge
It must have to do with the snow,
and with the mood of waiting.
In the lamplight, she tosses the medley of words
out of the window, into the wind.
With a shiver,
they soon disappear
in the shade of the night.
Her loneliness grows, her hands withdraw from the aging autumn,
as the words fall and break as if in a ritual.
From her fingertips, the cold surges to every stream and every hill of her body.
She closes the windows, crosses her arms,
only then does she realize the transient snow
has taken root in her forehead.
