角力

Wrestling

月亮飘向远方
乌云与夜媾和
我的全身被涂满黑色
天地间不再有路
也没有方向

黑夜有巨大的胃
我的思绪是一块石头
在夜里只有重量
没有形状

对付黑夜
要用一个清白的我加一个黑色的我
一颗善良的人心和一颗野兽的贪心

当黑风吹灭所有的词语
我心底藏着的阴暗
正在上升
并且比夜还黑
			

Moon drifts into the distance
Dark clouds and the night negotiate through intercourse
My body is completely painted in black
There is no longer a path between heaven and earth
There are no directions

The night is but a huge stomach
My thoughts are a stone that
Only has weight inside the night
But no shapes

To stand against the night
I must rally the innocent me as well as the blackened me
A good human heart with the greed of a beast

When the black wind blows out all my words
The darkness hidden in my heart
Will arise
And it will be darker than the night
			

荡秋千

Swing

我的生活
一直像在吊床上
吊床的一端系着太阳
另一端拴着月亮
日升月落
月升日落
我就被日月
没完没了地忽悠着
更多的时候
是被日月反复地推搡
让我的生活
像荡秋千
			

My life is
Always like a hammock
One end tied to the sun and
The other end held by the moon
The sun rises while the moon sets
The moon rises while the sun sets
I am swayed by the sun and the moon
Endlessly
Many times
It is the passage of the sun and moon that pulls and pushes me
Rocking my life
Like a swing
