银 婚
不知不觉，我们走过了
短暂又漫长的四分之一世纪
太平洋西岸冲积平原上
两小小的会说话的蚂蚁
因为会思念，让我们
少有聚会而多有别离
因为会唱歌，让我们
多的是散文，少的是诗
我的随和成了你的性格
你的任性成了我的脾气
尽都是些渺小的悲欢
成了我们珍藏的秘密
我们还将像一对蚂蚁
出入生活中，出入梦里
一条小路蜿蜒到灯前
伸展进儿女的记忆
1982年1月
（选自《岁月与酒》）

SILVER WEDDING
Without knowing it, we have traversed
a long and
yet short period of a quarter of a century.
A couple of talking ants notice this on the plain
on the west coast of the Pacific.
Just because we know how to work our brain,
So we were made to be parted more often than
reunited.
As we can sing, so we have written prose, but less
poems.
My easy going way becomes part of your
character;
While your capriciousness becomes my temper.
They are all trivial likes and dislikes,
And they are our treasured secrets.
We are like a couple of ants, in life
and in dreams.
A small path zigzags to the place before the light.
Our life enrolls itself along the path,
Crawling into the memory of our children.
Composed in Jan. 1982,
selected from "Years and Tide and Wine"
