It Turns Out That The Moon Is Hidden By The Cold Cliff
By Sophy Chen
Last night , it was the 15th day of the first month of lunar year, I translated poems overtime at night
In the mountain village the moon is bright and distant
The chill invaded my bone marrow at midnight, so I did not appreciate it
Tonight it is the 16th day of the first month of lunar year and the moon should be round the most
But I suddenly found out that the moon didn’t come out
Looking over the roof and the four sides of the canyon
There is no shadow of the moon, where is the moon
Is the moon of the 16th day of the first month of lunar year covered by dark clouds
The moment when I turned around, I suddenly found in the east of canyon
There was a shallow halo on the black cliff of it
The halo is getting stronger and stronger, till
On the cliff the shadow of the trees can be seen sparsely, slowly
The moon rose a dim light shadow from the shadows of the trees, the light shadow
Is getting stronger and stronger, bigger and bigger, and clearer and clearer
Until its whole body is appearing in the dancing tree shadows
If you look at it from another angle, the moon oh
It hangs beautifully on the treetop of hillside
To see its cold and cheerless looking, I suddenly felt deep cold between the canyon ...
It turns out that the moon is hidden by the cold cliff
