现代小诗：非马《午夜弥撒》

然后我们驱车

去有彩色玻璃穹顶的暖房

看那株种了两千年

且用人子的血灌溉过的

十字架

是否开了花

We then drove to the greenhouse

to see if the Cross was in bloom

the Cross that was planted 2000 years ago

the Cross that was once watered

with blood

当风琴头一个忍不住

呜呜哭起来的时候

我们便纷纷拿起大衣，知道

今年无论如何

是不会有希望的了

When the pipe organ became the first one

to break down crying

we all picked up our coats and headed for the door

knowing it was another hopeless year

只有那个不死心的管理员

仍在那里念念有辞

一边乱洒着水

Only the stubborn caretaker refused to give up

he kept muttering something to himself

while sprinkling the air with water
