瓶

当拎起地上的瓶/它拦腰断裂了/玫瑰和水 四散淌出/而玻璃破裂的地方/圆润光滑 竟找不出/受伤的痕迹

或许 玻璃的种族 /本来就难为一体/只在熔融中/相互磨合 厮守/直到有一天 /精疲力竭 訇然崩溃

那些内部的挣扎/热胀冷缩 日夜交替/阳光在透明的宫殿/

穿行 无声无息 -----

仿佛有过/一个轻微的声音/轻似冰块落水时/那最初亦是最后的呻吟-----

瓶 依旧能放回原处/只是不能再有水/月光下 瓶里溢满/银亮的空虚 它们/水一样从裂痕渗出/浸透了房间的地板和墙--------2006年4月

 A Vase

Took hold of a vase on the ground, lifted

But it right broken from its waist

With the roses held in it and waters flowing out

No any sharp edge could, as wounded marks, be founded

There are only smooth circle-edges in both pieces Left

Perhaps, as a race of glass

There is no sense

In being anything but grudgingly running-in each other, not as

Aloof one, improvised when melted, till the day come

When being much exhausted

A sudden-treachery of one's own body fell apart

Those inner struggles in it, days and nights

Expanding with heat and contracting with cold

Only sunlights have travelled through the crystal palace

Without any concealed sound to be heard

There was a tiny voice it seemed

As a piece of ice dropping into water

Taking up its echo, quavered

The first sigh and yet the same-last

Now is when the vase, as still one piece

Gets back standing at its place

With no any water inside

But at moon-lit night

There are silvery-aeriality lights in it

Which make watery-seeping out from within it unseen-rift

Thoroughly, the floor and walls of this chamber soaked
