锈

Rust

在铁的疼痛里
而我在生锈，我惧怕的那血腥的锈
正一寸寸地在我身体里散开
虫蚀般扩散，这些微红的颤栗
我需要的图纸，剪刀，机台，
生锈的爱与恨，我的心灵
为这些灰暗的铁计算着生活，热爱
方言，欲望，废弃已久的理想
时间正从另一边奔跑，它跨过
漫无边际的锈，它从远方
来来往往，却没有方向，它像迷茫的锈
在我的身体上开花，荒凉着 
			

In the aches and pains of iron 
I am being corroded, terrified of the bloody rust 
spreading on my body inch by inch
proliferating as if I'm worm-eaten, this reddish shudder.
The blueprints, scissors, machines I need,
rusted love, hatred, and my soul 
are designing life, devotion, dialects, 
desires, and familiar ideals for the sake of iron.
Time is running away, crossing
boundless rust, moving 
in distance, yet directionless, like the aimless rust
blooming on my body, hollow and desolate.
