寂寞

Lonely

于是  你开始生长
爬行于苍白的墙壁
如青苔一样有些绒毛
大面积地延伸  占有每个角落

又敏感如远方的风铃
在黑暗中有着幽幽的声音

在风中开放  我苦涩的花
淡淡的咸味充塞于每个喝过的酒瓶

如沉默的石兽蹲在每一个角落
是这所房间唯一喘息的窗户
又是一片无法栖息的疲惫天空

你是古老的咒语长满我的手掌
是少女天天投身而死的枯井

你
其实就是一双空洞的眼睛
			

So you start to grow
climbing up the pale wall
like moss with soft wool
greatly expanding, occupying every corner

sensitive as a distant chime
tinkling serenely in the dark
my anguished flower blooms in the wind
a faint taste of salt fills every discarded liquor bottle 

you're like a mute stone animal crouching in every corner
the only panting window in the room
and an exhausted stretch of sky without a perch

you're an ancient spell covering my palms
a dried up well filling every day
with the bodies of young girls

You
are in fact a pair of hollow eyes
