The Moon on the Stump

The moon stands on a stump
like a crowing rooster
Such things happen often
before the dawn breaks, trees have been cut down
Silent void is so pale

Adjusting the mood, then look again
you might say, Calla’s innermost words
are so lovingly touching
smoothening the pain of losing foliage
Sometimes, the virtual is not distorted
You perceive, then you exist
You interpret, then you grow beauty

If you have tried to follow the scene
imagine a conversation touching the heart
unfolds in life under the moon
The two sides of talkers
can be moon and tree stump
can be you and another person
or can be just yourself as well

The moon is not in the water, but on the stump
This scene is lighted by a candle
Moonlight candle will not be blown off
Despite life often shows the brutal deforestation
there will be a gentle healing
Your occasional glance
will touch the silver hope

A battered tree, covering its wounds
gently cries out: moon, moon
Thus, the moon comes
Such a thing, you cannot say never happen
Witnessing such an intimate embrace
you are tempted to say
the moon is a new growth bud from the stump

符咒

请给语言下一道命令
迫使你如此行
在烛光快熄灭的瞬间
拧亮一盏更大的灯
 
而不至于被自己的执拗
怂恿得更加刚愎
也不至于刚一显露阴云
就被催化成一场大雨
 
你要用这些词的岩石结构
建造汪洋中一座小岛
为暮气沉沉的木屋
挂上一串清脆的风铃
 
请给哲学研究划上语言的句号
为了向岸的奋游中水声持续
为了不被黑冥的虚空蚕食
是下命令的时候了
 
这样,当厄运刚一开口
就会被这些语言的骠骑兵
用寒光闪闪的利剑逼退
而你的心定
迅速改变迟疑的脚步

Word

The body is opened up by a word
stung by a word
Tears are running for a word
A word is a seed
You never know for sure
if it can bloom into a flower
or develop into a thorn

Flushing along blood vessels
the word becomes blood
Sleeping in bleak shadow
the word becomes dream
Thousands of roads spread across over heart
The word is on the way
looking for a resting hotbed

One word seeks for another word
Negotiating and embellishing with each other
and assembling idiom, vulgarism, or metaphor
Even a thousandth meaning
can collect the light like a firefly
flying around in your field

Wandering in a word
but clear-headed in another
You carefully select a word
and the word selects you as well

A word in your footsteps
hastening you or blocking you
Maybe you have to wait to the end of life
when you really understand the meaning of this word
