Highland Park Poetry |This is Not Roving by Bing Hua
Bing Hua Rockville, Maryland
Translation by Yingcai Xu
Chicago, Illinois
This is Not Roving
I will leave like this And never return For the biography of a hero Never carries tears or crying
I will leave like this And never return No matter how loud the noise behind is Or what weird croaks the river frogs make
I will walk on like this ---- Treading on the fallen leaves I will walk into the distance And with the usual persistence To let go the past sorrows I will walk into the setting-sun lights
I will walk on like this ---- I will walk into the village of others‘ And take it as my own hometown I will walk into the forest To rebuild my home This is not roving
