尽头

樊功生

她只有他了

二十多年过来了

也不知怎么过来的

没有阳光

没人搀扶

只在背后的尘土上

有些看不见的脚印... 

那是一条漫长的路

她抱着他

背着他

推他在小车上

扶他上自行车

送上校车

接下校车

数不清了...

她只说

不再需要伴侣了

心里装不下另一个人

她要一直呵护着他... 

但去年还是撒了手

那是一个高兴的日子

终于长大了

那条没有阳光的路走完了

机场明亮的大厅里

他第一次看到

她耳边挂下的几根白发... 

突然

大洋对面的一声枪响

... 

耳边的发丝更白了

其它一切

又重回了更黑的黑暗...

End of Tunnel 

By Ken Fan 

She's only got him now, 

Has been already two decades,

But still not sure how it happened. 

No sunlight, 

No support, 

Only those invisible footprints

On that dusty path behind. 

A long path indeed. 

She was holding him, 

Carrying him on the back, 

Pushing him on a stroller, 

Helping him get on a bike, 

Seeing him off on a schoolbus, 

Picking him up from it later. 

She often said

There's no need for a companion, 

Couldn't cherish one more person in her heart, 

She had to be there with him always. 

But finally let it go last year, 

That's a wonderful day. 

He's grown up at last. 

That sunless path is behind them. 

In the bright departure hall, 

For the first time, 

He noticed the gray hair by her ears. 

All of a sudden,

A gunshot from the other side of the ocean.

...

Those hair become even more gray.

Everything else

Is returning to an even darker darkness.
