There were signs and signals,

    even if they couldn't read them yet.

    Perhaps three years ago

    or just last Tuesday

    a certain leaf fluttered

    from one shoulder to another?

    Something was dropped and then picked up.

    有一些迹象和信号存在，

    即使他们尚无法解读。

    也许在三年前

    或者就在上个星期二

    有某片叶子飘舞于

    肩与肩之间？
