《断章》

作者/大卫  朗诵/张淑琴

街角风中老皮匠坐成雕塑

注视人来人往

拥挤的人潮中有他的亲人吗

他不知道

匆匆的人群中有他曾经的身影吗

他不知道

纷乱的步伐中有他修过的鞋吗

他不知道

......

他只知道这儿是他的地儿

他或许知道这儿有他的

一针一线一锤一钉

栉风沐雨的一生

他不知道方便了多少人

养活了多少人

再好的胶水粘不住一丝的记忆

粗糙的大手缝补不了温情

多少悲喜已经化为他脸上

童真的傻笑

今天六月一号也是他的节日

他不知道世界知道

街角雨中老皮匠坐成雕塑

接受冷漠的眼光

Fragment

by David（Yangzhou）

In gusts of wind round the street corner

Sits an old cobbler like a sculpture

Eyes are fixed on passers-by

In the crowds streaming along

Could there be his beloved ones

He knows not

In the bustling crowds to and fro

Could there be the shadow of his past self

He knows not

From among the feet hurrying forward

Could he find shoes he has mended

He knows not

……

He only knows

Here is where he stays for his keep

Perhaps he knows that

Here is where he lives off

his needles, threads, hammers and nails

despite of wind and rain

He does not know

How many he's helped

and provided for

Whatever adhesive

fails to cling to memories of love

Calloused hands

hardly make up for the tender feelings

Joys and sorrows

build up on his face

into childlike smirks

Here comes the Children's Day

And his Day too

Though he does not know

The whole world does

In the ceaseless rain round the street corner

Sits an old cobbler like e a sculpture

overcast in indifferent glances
