永恒的恋曲——维纳斯

Eternal Love Song—Venus De Milo

她被推到水下去
压倒一片成熟的水草
鱼儿如标点符号般惊起
她和她的故事
沉默地睡了几个世纪之后被捞了起来

今天
我久久地坐在进餐的位置上反省
很小的食欲在很大的盘子里呻吟
身体中有许多个欲念来自遥远的前世
我清楚地忆起了她
我曾强行挣脱她的拥抱
她留在我脖子上的那条断臂
今世依然无法接上

She was pushed down into the water
Pressed upon the aged water plants
The fish swam about baffled, just like punctuation marks
She and her story
Were scooped up after silently sleeping for centuries

Today
I have sat for hours reflecting by the dining table
A small appetite groans inside a large plate
There are many desires in the body 
come from the faraway previous incarnation
I clearly recall here
I once forcefully pushed off her embrace
She left her broken arms around my neck
There is still no way to put them back

鞋

Shoes

上帝
扛起岁月正在往上爬的梯子
沉重地走过人类的脸
留下皱纹的脚印
啊
上帝
你的脚像刀子
你的刀鞘呢
难道也像人间的爱情故事：
你从梯子上溜下来时
忘在了情人的家里

God 
On your shoulders is the ladder that the years climb,
Heavily walking on the face of mankind,
Leaving wrinkles as footprints
Ah,
God,
Your feet are like knives
And where is your scabbard
Hard to imagine they remind me of love stories among earthlings
When you came sneaking down off your own ladder
Your forgot them in your lover's home
