【望雪】

春分時節
大雪卻悄然而至
落滿了後院

困擱在室內
望著窗外的雪花
瞥見一隻孤鳥竄起
突然想到雪意的滋味

比如
背靠火爐
透過明亮的玻璃
觀看外面的飛雪
與
佇立在飛雪中
受撲面雪花的拍打
有什麼根本的不同

我猜想
透過玻璃觀雪
玻璃更冷
心更暖和
望雪其實是望月
就是對空白的遙望

佇立飛雪中觀雪
心更冷
雪更暖和
望雪其實是望水
就是對逝者的凝視

透過玻璃望雪
月是一種不可捉摸的幻影
佇立雪中嚼雪
雪花漫過舌頭便成了血脈

【Glancing at Snow】

The time of spring equinox
Yet a heavy snow quietly arrives
filling the backyard

Idling inside the house
Watching snowflakes outside the window
I glimpse a solitary bird scurrying about
and suddenly a taste of snow comes to mind

For instance
Having my back against a fireplace
peering through bright glass
at snow flying outside
and
Standing amid the falling snow
flakes fluttering on my face
What is the fundamental difference between them

I suppose
Observing snow through glass
the colder the glass
the warmer the heart
To watch snow is really to look at the moon
a distant gaze upon a blank space

Standing in snow watching it fluttering
the colder the heart
the warmer the snow
To watch snow is really to look at water
a constant gaze upon the departed

Watching snow through glass
the moon is an ungraspable illusion
Chewing snow while standing in it
the flakes that soak through the tongue become blood

【世紀末：風‧雅‧頌】

雅風之一

河流向下──
水上漂著樹葉；
根向下──
鮮花勃發在空中；
果實向上──
發在風的芳香中流；
雅風，雅風，
我心愛的小妹妹──―
在水中洗著閃光的黃金。

風雅之二

船在河中──
女人在船裡──
夢在葉脈上
一種野味在生長。

四月，芽在地下，
女人如初醒的游魚，釋放
一股醉人的氣味―
請飛翔吧！我春天的情人。

風／雅之三

酒在樹上──
糧食在地下──
火在溫度中──
節日裡蕩漾著華彩的女人

在根莖下面舞蹈，掀開
土壤，在白色的斷裂處──
溢出泉水，瓊漿與火苗──
以及騎著駿馬，奔向天堂的女人。

雅／風之四

雅風之聲，
漫過洶湧的麥浪──
在天際，
有南瓜在滾動──

渾圓的銅鑼，
拍打著鄉村的柿子──
在秋天，我聽見
雅風，在國土的珍珠雨中紛紛傳頌。

風／雅之五

時間在流放──
書卷只翻開第一頁──
昨夜，地上一片白霜，
哦，朋友上征途，
步履之聲響徹遠方。

沒有燈塔，沒有舟子，
那不是我們的家鄉：
孤獨的流水，焰火與洞穴──
哦，時間飢餓，
根正飲沼澤之水。

雅／風之六

橘子切開一半，
滾向另一邊地球；
牙齒在桔黃的葉輪中，
剪碎青春的彩條──

乳燕在銀河上穿梭，
點燃盞盞華燈──
讓天空兩邊，
飄滿夢幻的羽毛。

【Fin de Siècle: Popular Ballads • Festival Odes • Sacrificial Songs】

Elegant Air 1

The river flows down—
Leaves drifting on the water;
Roots point down—
Flowers bloom in the air;
Fruits point up—
Hair blows in the fragrant wind;
Elegant airs, elegant airs,
My darling younger sister—
Rinsing glittering gold in the water.

An Air of Elegance 2

Boat in the river—
Woman in the boat—
Dreams on the veins of leaves
A kind of wild game is growing.

In April, buds underground,
Like an early awakened spawning fish, a woman emits
An intoxicating scent—
Please fly! My spring lover.

Air/Elegance 3

Booze on the tree—
Grains underground—
Fire in the temperature—
A colorful woman rippling in the festival

Dancing beneath the rhizome, splitting open
The soil, in the white rupture—
Bubbling springs, nectar and flames—
and the woman who rides the steed, galloping to heaven.

Elegant/Air 4

The sound of elegant airs,
spilling over the billowing waves of wheat—
At the horizon,
a pumpkin rolls—

A perfectly round brass gong,
beating the village persimmon—
In autumn, I hear
an elegant air, singing out in the pearl rain of the country

Air/Elegance 5

Time in exile—
The book only turned to page one—
Last night, there was a coating of frost on the ground,
Oh, friends setting off on a journey,
The sounds of footsteps echoing in the distance.

There’s no lighthouse, there’s no boat,
That’s not our homeland:
Lonely drifting water, fireworks and caves—
Oh, time is starving,
The roots are drinking swamp water.

Elegant/Air 6

The orange is cut in half,
rolls to the other end of the earth;
Teeth are caught in the orange impeller,
cutting up the colorful ribbon of youth—

The young swallows shuttle across the Milky Way,
lighting lamp after lamp—
filling both ends of the sky
with floating dreamlike feathers.
