还未到来的日子

There are days that haven't arrived yet,

正在赶来，

that are being made

就像面包、椅子、药剂

like bread or chairs or a product

或是商品，

from the pharmacies or the woodshops:

还未到来的岁月正在工厂：

there are factories of days to come:

灵魂的工匠，

they exist, craftsmen of the soul

建造、称量、准备，

who raise and weigh and prepare

一些苦涩或珍贵的时光，

certain bitter or beautiful days

倏然把门扉叩响

that arrive suddenly at the door

送我们一个橙子作为奖赏，

to reward us with an orange

或是将我们立刻谋杀。

or to instantly murder us.
