There are days that haven't arrived yet,

还未到来的日子

that are being made

正在赶来，

like bread or chairs or a product

就像面包、椅子、药剂

from the pharmacies or the woodshops:

或是商品，

there are factories of days to come:

还未到来的岁月正在工厂：

they exist, craftsmen of the soul

灵魂的工匠，

who raise and weigh and prepare

建造、称量、准备，

certain bitter or beautiful days

一些苦涩或珍贵的时光，

that arrive suddenly at the door

倏然把门扉叩响

to reward us with an orange

送我们一个橙子作为奖赏，

or to instantly murder us.

或是将我们立刻谋杀。
