The Mountaintop Temporarily Gets A Little Higher in the Snow Night

by and tr.[China] Wu jingdong

The wind messes up the snowflakes.
The moon doesn't reveal its radian Until the guys stealing
the Diesel Engine from the Sanguantan Sandpit played out the Shadow Play.
It is illuminating the laboratory, the cement works and the health products factory which are alternately concave and convex on the small town,
And lights several worker,Souliu, Sanbiezi and Mrs.Xi-dongmei, who work on the night shift.
The tales about the adultery of the board chairman with a fat treasurer warm them apace.Across from the river
the train braying, the rails know-- where these bodies are going before Excited Insects

武靖东：《山顶在雪夜暂时高了一些》

风把雪搞得乱七八糟
等到盗窃三观滩沙场柴油机的家伙演完皮影戏
月亮才露出弧度
它照着小镇上凹凸不一的化工厂水泥厂保健品厂
照见了上夜班的瘦刘、三鳖子、习冬梅
有关董事长搞胖会计的闲话使他们快速暖和起来。河对面
火车在叫，铁轨分清了那些肉体——惊蛰前的去向
