艰难的彼岸

The Rough Shore

身体已经安睡
向更深的国度沉坠
漆黑的国土充满忧郁

皮肤结出了汗珠
也许是恐惧，也许出于怨悔
汗水淙淙流泻，无声无息
要将发僵的身体摆渡到
另一片水域

墙外，又是风，又是雨
象是难熬旅程的继续
窗口渐渐变得清晰
时光在飞逝：

一队逃向天空
一队滑向晦暗的心里

Fast asleep
The body falls deeper towards the kingdom;
Sad and low lies the dark soil.

Pearls of sweat grow on skin
Out of remorse, perhaps sorrow,
The sweat trickles soundlessly  
To carry the numb body to
another water territory.

Against the wall lashes the rain and wind;
The bleak long journey comes endless.
The pane slowly clears
Sprites of time become restless——

With one line rushing to the sky,
The other slips further into the dismal heart.
