跳房子

又一个小女孩
挡住了
子弹漫游的方向

血泊的人行道上
围观者清楚看到
小女孩嘴边
压抑不住的胜利微笑
她的双脚
终於成功地跳入
粉笔涂画的
两个方格

Standing in the way

of a bullet’s joyflight

another little girl fell

on a blood-stained pavement 

 

A triumphant smile

crossed her twisted face

as she finally managed

to plant both feet

neatly

in the chalked squares
