残墙

A Damaged Wall

残墙
因失去其余三面
像一侧巨刃
它没有想到这是它最后的形象

有几根木桩撞击它的腰身
一贯起着保护作用的墙
成为危险
这使它从概念里脱离出来
显得很孤独

它的躯体终于被撞出洞口
从洞眼看见的不是家具
而是云朵

天空开始摇晃
它环视着四周的废墟
知道独立的代价

现在
它失去所有的责任和意义
只为自己站立  现在
哪怕是十分之一秒
也是它的永恒
它体会着绝望的空阔

可它看见弱小的人慌张逃窜
很想弯下身体扶起一个孩子

这一转念使它倒下的姿态缓慢又庄重
仿佛可以分解出无穷的情意
但它很快平覆
人们于是欢呼着跑过
			

A damaged wall is left 
Like a blade of huge knife 
When its other three sides are collapsed
It has never regarded itself as a final image 

Rammed on its waist by wood stakes
The wall has changed its role from protective
To dangerous to people.
It appears rather lonely as it is separated from
Our general conception of wall 

Finally its body got jabbed a hole 
Through which we see clouds floating
Instead of furniture standing there

When the sky begins to shake
The wall looks all round at the ruins, and
Knows what price it has paid for its independence

Deprived of its all duties and meanings 
It tries hard to stand alone, experiencing
A kind of desperate spaciousness
Even for a tenth of a second
Its own eternity 

How it wishes to bend down 
To help a tumbled kid up
When it sees crowds of people
Fleeing in fright

Slowly and solemnly it falls down to pieces
As if innumerable tender regards it tends to decompose
People rush forward to it in jubilation
While it falls flat on the ground
