Yao Feng # 21-- Dream

dream

sleeping, I always clutch the pillow

not from loneliness or fear

I hold the pillow as if carrying explosives

run through the smoke towards the blockhouse

I blow up the bunker

I eliminate all enemies

with sleep I wake up more courageous

the moon has awarded me the silver star

(translation by Kit Kelen)

睡梦中，我一直紧紧抱着枕头
不是因为孤独，不是因为恐惧
我抱着枕头，就像夹着炸药包
在硝烟中向着碉堡奔跑

我炸掉了碉堡
我消灭了所有的敌人

睡梦中，我比醒来更勇敢
月亮为我颁发了银质勋章
