Message

Mom，I came when you were out．

I knew the key was still placed in the interstice

Between the wall and the mailbox．

I examined the floor under the wardrobe1) and found the secret

You took out and hid back every night，

A nanmu2) case．I meant to take away the bank deposit book，

But soon I recognized the cloth

That wrapped your treasure had once swaddled3) me．

Washed and ironed so neat，it' s still fresh after so many years．

Mom，I thought you were nothing but a s tubborn4)，cold vixen5)．

I leave this message，just to let you know I came

But moved nothing．And I，yes I，am still swaddled in the cloth．

我来过了，妈妈，

进门时，我知道钥匙还放在信箱与墙壁的夹缝中间。

我找到了大衣柜下你每晚取出又藏好的秘密。

那楠木盒。

本来我是要拿走那存折的

可我看到夹放那笔巨款的是我最初的襁褓，

你洗、熨得多么干净，新鲜，保留了这么多年。

我原以为你只有唠叨、倔犟和冷漠呢。

我留下这纸条，告诉你，我来过了

什么也没动，而我，是的，我还在那襁褓里。
