瓶子

Bottle

我的脑袋瓜   是一只
盛满方块字的瓶子

甫一学会点横竖撇捺
头顶的天空便闪烁星星之火
刚刚学会爬格子挖心思
腹部之地尽是丘壑云烟
走进社会站上讲台
张口闭口  信手拈来
都是那一个个充满
青铜气息和甲骨味道的
蜻蜓蝌蚪蝴蝶的家族们
四处横空飘浮

如今  我走出家园四海浪游
仍然依仗着一连串方块
四平八稳  踽踽独行
走出所有的陌生和街头
许多新鲜异味的东西
也因此与我  失之交臂

哦，我是一只装满方块意念
漫溢四流的瓶子
			

My brain is a bottle filled with square characters

Upon learning the strokes
The sky above my head flickers
Upon learning to sling ink and probe my thoughts
My chest becomes a cloudy mountain refuge
I enter the world and take the podium
My mouth opens and closes, hands fold and press
Clans of dragonflies, butterflies and tadpoles,
full of the breath of bronze and flavor of oracle bones 
filling the air

Now, I wander far from home
Still relying on columns of squares
Steady as rock, I walk bent, alone
Out of all strangeness and its many streets
Because of this, opportunities slip by

Ah, I am a bottle overflowing with square thoughts
			

走出

Walking Out

走出国门闯荡外面世界
是从故乡出发的

走出故乡开始远行
是从乡间小路出发的

走出乡间小路进入都市
是从一座石头楼房出发的

走出一座石头楼房四处流浪
是从某个春天出发的

走出某个春天漂泊岁月
是从那年那月那日出发的

走出那年那月那日学会独立
是从母亲眼眸出发的

走出母亲眼眸感受生活
是从千叮咛万嘱咐出发的

千叮咛万嘱咐唤醒了我的内心
让所有的走出都感动得清晰可辨
			

Walking out of the country to wander abroad
Is started from a hometown

Walking out from a hometown to travel around
Is started from a village lane

Walking out of the village lane into the urban landscape
Is started from a stone building

Walking out of a stone building to stroll around
Is started in spring

Walking out in spring to drift through time
Is started on that day of that year

Walking out of that day to become independent
Is started from the gaze of my mother

Walking out of the gaze of my mother to experience life
Is started from her pleading day and night

Her pleading awakens my heart
Making my wandering clear and distinct
