衰朽

樊功生

昔日的辉煌 尽在废墟之中

几分震撼 几分伤感

是哪年的事 供着何方大神？

所有的秘密 都埋在了石缝里... 

卖椰子的女孩 晒得黝黑

在烈日下吆喝 满脸是汗

身后那番壮丽 习以为常

那么的近 又那么的远... 

千年古刹诉高棉

危塔云深俯断垣

不看天朝三万寺

只缘吴窟落人间

（注：访吴哥，七绝平水韵）

Beauty in the Ruins

By Ken Fan 

Past glories, all remain in the ruins. 

Stunning, and heartbreaking.

When was it? And who was being worshiped?

All the secrets, were buried in those wall cracks....

That coconut girl, tanned ever so dark. 

Shouts under the burning sun, sweating.

The magnificence in the back, already too familiar. 

So close, yet so far.

Ancient temples are telling a thousand year Khmerian tale. 

Steep towers in the clouds are overlooking broken walls.

No need to visit all those edifices in the Mainland,

Ever since Ankor Wat to the Earth fell.
