大水里一滴无望之墨
——习经笔记之五
所谓伊人，在水一方。（引：《秦风-蒹葭》）

A Drop of Hopeless Ink from the Flood

这么多的水
我怎么用词语来容纳
我只能说浩淼  绝望
你叹息  这片水就变成了汪洋

这么多的水
让你面对  安静的水透彻无垠
开始  你看见了自己的容颜
陌生又困惑

开始是你的两滴泪
落在水面  水面就振荡
容颜就婆娑
发出金属的声响像两个音符
带来短暂的乐章

多少年后是我的一滴墨水
落在水面  像墨鱼儿
它畅游
一丝丝无限地拉长
然后是无限地延展
最后归于透明
最后归于大水的浩淼  绝望和安静
			

So much water
How can I use words to accommodate it
All I can say is immensity and despair
You sigh, and the water became a vast ocean

So much water
That you're facing
The quiet water is so clear
and at first you see your own face
unfamiliar and confusing

At first your own two drops of tears
Fall on the water and the water is cycling
and your face is languish
make the metal sounds just like two musical notes
ane bring the movement impermanerue

many years later I become an ink glob
falling on the surface of water
just like a fish in a mexican
it swim
an destretched extended
and the sprending indefinitely

and eventually be transparent 
and will eventually be
the flood of the expansion quiet desperation
