《无伤亡报告》
新闻标题
下方的照片里,
那头小毛驴,
没人把它算在内。
一头白色小毛驴,
它的生命被锁在废铁
和西瓜上,
稳稳站着,一动不动地
让他们把炸药鞍具
系在身上,
直到他们拍它屁股一把,
说一声“走,去吧”
把它赶往敌人的阵地——
可是然后
就在路中央
它注意到
石头缝里冒出几根淡淡的草,
于是它偏离了原计划,
为了啃一口青草,
那滴答作响的寂静中
只属于它自己的青草。
谁开的枪,没有记录:
是那些害怕它转身的人
还是那些拒绝这份“礼物”的人?
当它在一片火光中
升上天堂时,
这头小毛驴被封为
“爆炸弥赛亚”,
还会有七十二头洁白的小母驴
舔舐它的伤口。
No Casualties Reported
No one counted him,
the little donkey
in the photograph
below the headlines.
A white donkey,
his life shackled to scrap iron
and watermelons,
who surely stood still
as they strapped the saddle
of dynamite to his body,
until they patted his behind
spurring him on with a yallah itlah
to the enemy lines –
Only then
mid-road
did he notice the pale grass
sprouting between the stones
and he strayed
from the plot
in order to munch,
belonging only to himself
in the ticking silence.
It was not written who fired:
those who feared he would turn back
or those who refused the approaching gift
but when he rose to heaven
in a blaze
the donkey was promoted to
explosive messiah
and seventy-two pristine jennets
licked his wounds.
《建议》
吸一口气,吐出去:
向着月亮,
向着火星,
向着星系,
以及暗物质的乳白色光环。
一旦抵达,返程
就慢慢来:
仙后座,
小熊座的尾巴,
海洋,大陆,
地球,
覆盖着一层人类,
电流声嗡嗡作响。
然后,在房间里,
坐在木椅上,
对自己反复说:
我的话被断章取义了。
我的话被错引了。
Advice
Take a breath and pull away:
to the moon,
to Mars,
to the galaxies,
the milky halo of dark matter.
Once there, make your way back
slowly:
Cassiopeia,
the tail of the Little Bear,
oceans, continents,
the Earth,
spread with a layer of mankind,
buzzing with electricity.
Then, on a wooden chair
in your room,
repeat to yourself:
my words were taken out of context.
I was misquoted.
《夜灯》
头脑已决定的事,
身体还需要时间才能领会;
于是身体用安慰的轮廓
抚摩自己:
这是肩膀,这是
脸颊,这是大腿内侧——
这是一声无底的叹息,
没有一个辅音
可以依靠。
Night Lamp
It takes time for the body
to grasp what the mind has decided
so the body strokes itself
with an outline of consolation:
here the shoulder, here
the face, here the inner thighs—
This is the bottomless sigh
devoid of a consonant
to lean against.
《完美的一天》
有人找到他的金孔雀
有人用一根羽毛轻拂爱人的脸
有人从石榴树中冒出来
像一根枝条
在风中起舞
有人摇摆腰肢
舞动激情的骨盆
而我,在我的飞翔中
在羽毛中
寻找美——
Perfect Day
Someone found his golden peacock
someone passed a feather over his lover’s cheek
someone emerged from a pomegranate tree
like a branch
and danced in the wind
someone swung her hips
moved the pelvis of passion
and I what beauty
in my flight
my feathers –
《给你看》
为你宽衣解带,脱得只剩我的笔迹
直到喉音
硬音素
元音
直到你看见我的“O”
我的后缀
树木
被制成
纸张、笛子,还有书桌
与空转的
椅子
然后我来到你面前
你读懂我的墨迹。
Showing You
Undressing for you down to my handwriting
down to the gutturals
the hard phonetics
the vowels
until you see my O
my suffixes
the trees
pulped into
paper, flutes and the desk
with the chair that swivels
empty
when I come to you
so you will read my ink.
