In Father's Ward

Written in Chinese by Huang Hai

Translated into English by Cui Yuwei

father and I are looking at each other for a while

his eyes welling up with the limpidity of lamplight

the corners of his mouth slightly quiver

as if saying something

that I haven't caught

I come up to sit at his bedside

his penis exposed through a hole

in his hospital gown

it has never been so pliant and soft as it is today

still as an infant

then I put it back quietly

into his crotch

《在父親的病房》

黃海

我和父親對視了壹會

他的眼睛充滿燈光壹樣的清澈

他嘴角微微壹動

好像說了什麽

我沒聽清

我靠近他的病床坐下來

看到從病號服的褲孔

露出來的陰莖

從未像今天那樣

順從和柔軟

像嬰孩那樣壹動不動

我又把它悄悄塞回

父親的褲襠
