上个世纪六七十年代
                                那个 缺雨的日子
                                年轻强壮的父亲
                                暴躁如干裂的土块
　                               烈日粘着尘土
                                 田野破烂不堪
　　
　　
　　
　　                           父亲望一下天
                                 骂一句天
                                又向天祷告一句
　　                          模样怪诞之极
　　
　                            父亲用木桶挑水播种
　                             喘气如牛
　　                         腰弯如弓
　　                          鞋裂如花盛开
　　                          汗水淋漓能做雨 
                              
                            木桶脱钩掉进老井里
                               父亲大怒
　　                       把另一只也掼进老井里
                              
                              开口大骂
　　                        拍腚瞪眼
                           唾沫飞溅也如雨
　　                  然后又用钩绳捕捞
                              
                              整整一天
　　                       木桶落井又得
　　                      
                              父亲疲软如泥
　　                        挑两只空桶归家
　　                       
                          夕阳照父亲一身的光芒
　　                         色赤如金
　　                         
　　                        父亲的脸却苍白如纸
