手术房内

In Surgery

我不是走在太空上
何以会撞到流星

洗礼后
我的左脸变成
干涸的沼泽

淤血成泥泞
不修的鬍髭成杉木

一张全然陌生的插图
似乎
不曾在认识

痛
是一种哲学

麻痹
是一种经验

我的左脚
是一道不能伸向的河流
不能屈就成湖泊

膝盖也成了一个
矿口

有几个员工在那处
商议着
如何去开拓?
			

I am not walking in the sky
Why got stroke by a meteor? 

After a rite of baptism
My left face becomes a dry swamp

Blood silting into muddiness
Mustaches unshaven as pine and fir 

A wholly strange of an inserting map
It seems as if
I have never recognized 

Pain is 
A sort of philosophy

Paralysis is 
A sort of experience

My left leg
Is a river cannot extend
Cannot bend into lakes

The knee also becomes an entrance 
Of a mine

There some workers 
Discussing 
How to exploit?
			

蚕想

A Silkworm's Thoughts

茧是美丽的
春蚕

如何去咬破那面窗子?

一次冥想
就感觉自己是扑灯的蛾

烧脱的薄翅, 犹
剥落千瓣的云
从灯色中, 跌醒
但丁之梦

然后惊觉
自己仍是未变的
蚕
			

Cocoon is beautiful 
A spring silkworm  

How to bite through that window?

Once with a deep thought
Thinking himself as a moth dashing at a lamp 

The burning thin wings, as if
Stripping of thousand petals of clouds 
Falling from the colors of light
Awakes Dante’s dream

Then startlingly
He realizes that himself, is still a silkworm 
Not yet to change

Note:
A note on Dante's dream of the Eagle (purg.ix) in the temple 
classic edition reminds one that in the Medieval Bestiaries 
the eagle is said to fly up in his old age into the circle of 
fire, where he burns off his feathers and fall blind into a 
fountain whence he issues with his youth renewed.
