飞。飞过沙漠,飞过冰川,飞过栅栏里的牲口……
落日把它们烧成枯瘦的鬼魂
它们在天上写着无人看懂的诗行
钢琴无法奏出它们翅膀的旋律
它们为翅膀而飞翔!它们穿过暴风雪
返回绿芽舞动婴儿手指的南方
一条千里长的线
等待最完美的点——子弹——从地面上升起
|
|
Flying over glacier and desert, flying over livestock in their corral
Sunset ignites them into gaunt ghosts
They write lines of poetry no one understands in the sky
Pianos cannot perform the melody of their wings
They fly just because they have wings
They pass through blizzards
Return to the south, where saplings wave infant hands
A thousand-mile line awaits the perfect point—a bullet—to rise up from the ground

一
不是柳絮,而是安魂曲
它弹奏冬天。让白色
穿梭医院走廊,把“救命!”
堵在一张干燥的嘴中
二
雪人——纯洁的化身!
我把蜡烛插入它胸膛
一个伤口在深处绽开:激情
还会凝成冰河的漂木!
三
这雪必须铲除。脚在打滑
车祸。最好远离此地
或相反:反抗。铲子下
耳语轰鸣:“用更多的恨!”
四
我穿行大街,暴风雪
教我怎么样生活:低头,沉默
当哈奇从阴沟里冒起
宇宙用更大的静卡住我喉管

1
It is not willow floss, it is a requiem
Performing the winter. It sends whiteness pacing
Along hospital hallways, stops the cry "Help"
From escaping a desiccated mouth
2
Snowman. Personifier of purity
I stick a candle in its chest
A wound opens deep inside—passion
Will solidify like driftwood in a glacier!
3
This snow must be shoveled. Feet slide
Car crashes happen. Best to leave this place
Or do the opposite: resist. Under the shovel
A whisper rings in my ears: "Put more hate into it."
4
I walk down the street. A blizzard
Gives a lesson to live by: be silent, keep my head down
While steam puffs up from a sewer pipe
The heavens lock my throat with greater stillness
|
比黎明醒得早,我,一列在雾中
轰鸣的火车。变形的脸
晃晃,用街灯和夜作爱的激情
一道充血的目光打开空荡的车站
鸟声用死囚的母语在窗外涂写
“我要回家!”的哭喊
在钟盘雪地里爬行。那里
记忆之狼正噬咬着一个迷途的孩子
|

Awake before dawn—yes I, a train rumbles
In the mist. Smeared faces slide past me
By street lights and last night's lovemaking
My blood-suffused gaze fathoms the empty station
Birdcalls in the native tongue of condemned prisoners
Scrawl their sounds at the window: "I want to go home!"
On the clock's snowy face, wolf of memory crawling
Gnaws on the flesh of a child who lost his way
