穿过大半个中国去睡你

Crossing Most of China to Sleep with You

其实，睡你和被你睡是差不多的，无非是
两具肉体碰撞的力，无非是这力催开的花朵
无非是这花朵虚拟出的春天让我们误以为生命被重新打开
大半个中国，什么都在发生：火山在喷，河流在枯
一些不被关心的政治犯和流民
一路在枪口的麋鹿和丹顶鹤
我是穿过枪林弹雨去睡你
我是把无数的黑夜摁进一个黎明去睡你
我是无数个我奔跑成一个我去睡你
当然我也会被一些蝴蝶带入歧途
把一些赞美当成春天
把一个和横店类似的村庄当成故乡
而它们
都是我去睡你必不可少的理由
			

Bedding you are being bedded by you are about the same, as simple as that
The force of two bodies colliding to cast flowers
Nothing more than these flowers entice us to a virtual spring that
                   we mistake as life reopened
In most of China, anything can happen: volcanoes erupt
                  rivers wither

Political prisoners and migrant workers grab no one's attention
Along the road, elk and red-crowned cranes are at gunpoint
I have risked a hail of bullets to sleep with you
I have pressed countless nights into the dawn to sleep with you
All of me races into one self to sleep with you
Of course, I can be also be led astray by a few butterflies 
Taking their praise for springtime
Mistaking some Hengdian village for my hometown
These
Are my essential reasons for sleeping with you
