Thinking of Mei Mei 懷念二妹 by 詹冰

1.
Mei Mei has gone to heaven,
It is now that I understand
There is maiden goddess.

2.
"There are gold fishes swimming in the sky...."
Mei Mei was saying this and
slept then for ever.
You are a child poet!

3.
The sunset clouds are in the blue sky.
I have searched it secretly ----
if there are gold fishes
hanging on the spider's web.

4.
At the branch tip of the acacia,
Oh, my little star
Are you my Mei Mei?
