Love in Silence

A translation of Jun’s poem 默爱 (Love in Silence)

When you try to make a name
as a painter
I become the sponsor
of your exhibition

When you write your heart out
as a poet
I am your publisher

When you are an author
written books no one reads
I learn to be a collector

默爱

当你是一个无名的画家,
你特想办一个画展,
我就成为一个赞助者。

当你是一个诗人,
你特想出一本诗集,
我就成为一个出版商。

当你是一个作家,
写的书无人看,
我就是一个收藏家。
