在沙漠门口举行过渡仪式		Perform the rite of passage before the door of desert
在沙漠门口举行过渡仪式围着沙漠跑三圈戴幻觉的羊角，近似无记无忆洁净的沙子，于极深寒处孵育，潜沙游过黄色岩层，以分段的印迹食无思，照无镜凉爽的沙子，于极炙热处褪去了物籍沙漠说让有吧，就有了 ——真的很灵沙漠说要有水沙漠说一切无边界意能变意，善变意漂移的绿洲，络绎不绝水，云朵，歌唱在沙漠门口举行过渡仪式喝下奇香蒸发的种子汤		Perform the rite of passage before the door of desert Run around it thrice Put on the horn of delusion, just like The one without mark or memory Clean sands, brooding In its frozen depths, potential particles Swim across ocher beds, leaving Discontinuous traces Feed on the thoughtless, in the mirror of nothingness Cool sands, casting off thinghood In the hottest slopes The desert said let there be, so there was —it really works The desert said let there be water The desert let there be every boundless idea Every transformative idea, variable idea Shifting oases, an endless stream Water, clouds, song Perform the rite of passage before the door of desert And drink a specially scented Soup of seeds
