灵魂的牧场

The Spiritual Farmland

牧放远了就成了故乡的乱草
被一小块废弃的时光，自言自语的穿越
秋天落魄至此 请看好你的影子
一些树木，和稗草

来自唐朝的书生
仍在寻找，经书落脚的地方
果实牧放南山
遗世的牧师在风中突然变了颜色

这些大有来头的影子
跑动起来带走匍匐在石阶上的灰
而我的目光半熏去哪里等待
竹篮打水的日子

透过黄昏，野径般的长发
仍可以看见
如入无人之境道路割开天空
灵魂游走锋刃
比汽车狂热的影子闪得更快
			

A far off farmland becomes the weeds of home.
I travel through a small piece of deserted time, murmuring.
In autumn my spirit falls. I wish to see your shadow 
Trees and barnyard grasses.

A scholar from the Tang dynasty
Is still searching for the scriptures.
On Mount South fruit trees grow.
In the wind, a secluded shepherd suddenly changes color.

These compelling shadows
Run and sweep the gray off stone steps.
But where can my semi-intoxicated eyes go to wait for
The days of no reward?

Through eventide and long hair like wild paths
I still see the sky 
Entering a road without man.
My spirit travels on a blade's edge
Faster than the shadow of a speeding car.
