Sunset


Today I watched my first sunset at UTown. Usually, I don't pay much attention to dusk as my room window faces the opposite direction. As my friends and I marveled at this view at the 21st floor, a girl casually told us: "The sky is orange because of pollution," while holding her phone up to take a picture. "I'm a Geography student."

I looked at the dorm rooms, busy roads lit with cars, Keppel bay in the distance. The world moves on, and so should you and I.

伞内//伞外

玲珑的三折花伞
一节又一节
把热带的雨季
乍然旋开了

我不知该往何处会你
伞内,还是伞外
然后共撑一小块晴天
让淅沥的雨声
轻轻且富韵律地
敲打着古老的回忆

听雨的青涩年龄
管他是否已尾随
喧噪了一个夏季的
蝉叫,陷阱泥潭
只要撑着伞内的春
我们边拥有一切,包括
沼泽里笨拙的蛙鸣

二月底三月初
我折起伞外的雨季
你敢不敢也折起我
收在贴胸的口袋里
黄昏时,在望园楼
看一抹霞色
如何从我双颊飞起
染红湖上一轮落日
