平武读山记

Reading Mountains in Pingwu

我爱这一再崩溃的山河，爱危崖
如爱乱世。
岩层倾斜，我爱这
犹被盛怒掌控的队列。

……回声中，大地
猛然拱起。我爱那断裂在空中的力，
以及它捕获的
关于伤痕和星辰的记忆。

我爱绝顶，也爱那从绝顶
滚落的巨石一如它
爱着深渊：一颗失败的心，余生至死，
爱着沉沉灾难。
			

I love the mountains and rivers that once 
again collapse, and love the dangerous cliffs
just like the troubled times. 
Rocks tilted, I love the order
that is controlled by fury. 

………In echo, the earth 
suddenly arched. I love the force broken
in the air, and the memory of the scars and stars 
it captured. 

I love the mountain top, but also love 
the giant stone rolling down from the top 
as if for its love of the abyss: 
A failed heart, for the rest of his life
loves great disasters. 
			

春风斩

Spring Wind Beheading

河谷伸展。小学校的旗子
噼啪作响。
有座小寺，听说已走失在昨夜山中。

牛羊散落，树桩孤独，
石头里，住着永远无法返乡的人。
转经筒在转动，西部多么安静。仿佛
能听见地球轴心的吱嘎声。

风越来越大，万物变轻，
这漫游的风，带着鹰隼、沙砾、碎花瓣、
歌谣的住址和前程。

风吹着高原小镇的心。
春来急，屠夫在洗手，群山惶恐，
湖泊拖着磨亮的斧子。
			

River valley stretches out. A flag at the small school snaps
aloud. Last night, I heard
a little temple went missing in the mountains.

Cattle and sheep scatter, a lone tree stump stands;
Inside of stones lives a man who has no home
Thunderbolts and belts turn—how quiet is the western world, as if
we could hear the sound of the Earth's core turning on its axis.

Wind blows harder and harder, everything becomes lighter
The falcon, gravels, broken petals, the address of a song
and the road ahead, all there. 

On the plateau the wind sways the heart of a small town
Spring arrives in hurry. Butcher washes his hands
Mountains are in panic
An ax is polished and dragged by the lake. 
			

嘉峪关外

Outside Jiayuguan

我知道风能做什么，我知道己所不能。
我知道风吹动时，比水、星辰，更为神秘。
我知道正有人从风中消失，带着喊叫、翅、饱含热力的骨骼。
多少光线已被烧掉，我知道它们，也知道
人与兽，甚至人性，都有同一个源泉的夜晚。
我的知道也许微不足道。我知道的寒冷也许微不足道。
在风的国度，戈壁的国度，命运的榔头是盲目的，这些石头
不祈祷，只沉默，身上遍布痛苦的凹坑。
——许多年了，我仍是这样一个过客：
比起完整的东西，我更相信碎片。怀揣
一颗反复出发的心，我敲过所有事物的门。
			

I know what the wind can do and I cannot.
I know when the wind blows, it is more mysterious than water and stars. 
I know someone vanishing in the wind, his loud calls, his wings and passionate bones.
How much light has been burned out, I know, also know 
That humans and animals, even human nature itself, share a single source of night. 
My knowledge might be slim. My knowledge of the winter might be slight.
In the kingdom of wind and sands, the hammer of destiny is blind, these stones
Don't pray, only remain silent, covered by deep pits of pain. 
---------for many years, I am a passing guest:
I believe in fragments more than the completion.  Carrying 
a capacious heart, I have knocked at the door of all things
