Double Seventh Day
By Chen Zihong
Chatting hand-in-hand, pleasure to many of you all
I just laid a finger on her thumb but lost pell-mell
Comer and goer，wealth-how peaceable and frosty a tiger
whispered cosmos and ethic, rushed out of the alchemist's copple
Wakening, sleeping, a letter so little time to catch, hitting the slope
thoughts flew but couldn't arrive
twisting and writhing, Milky Way, a great sickle
August 9,2016/ translated by the author
Note：
The original title is "Milky Way, a great sickle".
Double Seventh Day/ also called Double Seventh Festival (Qixi Festival),one of Chinese traditional festivals, and also known as a Chinese Valentine's Day. It's based on a romantic legend about a weaver girl and an ox herd. It falls on the 7th day of the 7th Chinese lunar month.

中文原诗：
【银河的切割】
执手论心，这一天到处充满你们的欢乐
我只碰过一下她的大拇指就匆匆错过
财来财去，安静和冷峻的老虎
念着秩序和伦理的老虎，奔离炼金师的坩埚
苏醒，睡去，八行笺不及相从，落在斜坡
心驰不得神往
翻滚的，是银河的切割
