Ke-hua CHEN 陳克華

SOLITUDE IS ONLY A FLEETING GLANCE
寂寞只是一瞬目光*

Translated by Patrick CARR 柯英華


Solitude is only a fleeting glance
Before I take my leave
Vanished between the briefest of intervals

Because this life will never again hold this moment
Our eyes meet
For barely a glimpse    but already tell of countless
    reincarnations
You and I have in store
Vague, distant plans and blunders

Future lonely winters
We can only drift through the dark night alone
We have never comprehended
All around fluttering snowflakes

As if heaven and earth are compensating us for this life’s
    solitude
In metaphor, with sumptuous sprinkled blessings. . . .


From Ke-hua CHEN’s 陳克華collection of poetry Hua yu lei yu he-liu 《花與淚與河流》 [Flowers, Tears, and Rivers]. Taipei: Bookman Publishing, 2001, 46- 47.
