Meditation in the Open-Air Garage

在露天车库沉思

Leaves have no choice 
but to articulate the wind:

aspens like zills, aglint and atilt;
the willow, a lone zither.

Riffling the cottonwoods at dusk,
winds find me cushioned against

the concrete in the open-air garage,
facing the trees, the drive, the road,

the mountains up the canyon's
other side, until an onrush bellows

a mindless heartless ecstasy
through the empty sack of me.
			

树叶别无选择
除了做风的见证：

倾斜的山杨，像指钹作响，闪闪发光
柳树，是一支孤单的古筝。

黄昏时分，杨木叶波浪般婆娑，
风发现我
把露天车库里的混凝土当坐垫，

我面朝树木，车道，公路
和峡谷尽头延绵起伏的群山
直到狂风呼啸，万物汹涌

一场无谓的狂喜
穿过我空空的皮囊
			

Meditation on the Veranda

阳台打坐

Bliss—right now:
beneath a blue jade
vine's beaded bangs,

my sonar function
asleep, the I unstressed,
a syllable glided over.

(Except wherever
in the line it's placed,
the I is stressed.)

Behind me, a lipstick palm.
In front of me, the early
stages of sunrise,

the world before
highlighter's applied.
			

极喜-现在：
在蓝玉藤刘海般的豆荚下

意识昏昏欲睡，
我放下“小我”，浑身通透
似一个小音节，轻轻滑过
（除非它又冒出，要求我关注）

蓦然回首处，一棵红皮棕榈树。
放眼前方，是破晓时的苍穹
万物合一，红尘未醒
