半夜的哭泣 Weeping in the night



阿嬷为我庆祝生日当妈妈不在的时候

妈妈离开了我们,不知过了多少个数不尽的夜晚,有一晚我睡着了,但喉咙痒痒,咳嗽而醒了过来,再也睡不着而哭泣起来,二舅把我牵下楼,让我坐在楼梯口,尽讲些无聊的笑话来逗我笑,那些笑话一点都不好笑,但小小年纪的我也会应酬似的假假的笑起来。

听表妹说,在我疲倦而再睡过去时,阿嬷上来摸摸我,口中喃喃自语‘可怜的孩子!’。



I did not know how many countless nights since Mamma had left, one night I was asleep, but my throat was itchy, coughing woke me up and couldn’t get to sleep again, so I wept, second uncle held my hand and took me downstairs, let me sat at the foot of the staircase and telling me some silly jokes to make me laugh, but the joke was not funny at all, at that tender age, I knew how to pretend it was funny and tried to laugh.
I heard my cousin said, after I slept that night, Grandma came up stroked me and murmuring "Poor child!”
