外甥女
Translation: @benkongenglish
.
這隻動物是我姊的女孩
年紀大約0.25歲
接觸她總挑起我腦海中翻騰巨浪般的疑問
例如她的感受 想法
例如她的未來 我姊的心血 汗水 受傷
例如我能不能有耐性獨自面對一隻動物
.
把她還給她的媽媽或阿姨
回復平靜的海面 我得以繼續航行我的生命
觀察她陰晴不定的聲嘶力竭或甜美笑顏
逗弄著全家上下 尤其外公 的表情和肢體

This creature is the daughter of my sister
She’s about 0.25-year-old
Queries engulf me every time I have contact with her
Like how she feels or thinks
Like her future, my sister’s sacrifices and effort put into nurturing her
Like whether I have the patience to be alone with another living creature
.
When I return her back to her mum or aunt, the ocean becomes calm and I can sail through again.
Observe her erratic scream or sweet smile
Observe her being the source of joy for the whole family, especially grandpa and the way she makes him smile and behave.
