Duoduo: Thicket

　　　灌木
　　　　　　多多
我们反复说过的话它们听不见
它们彼此看也不看
表面上看也不看
根

却在泥土中互相寻找
找到了就扭杀
我们中间有人把
这种行为称为：
爱

刚从树丛中爬起来的恋人
也在想这件事儿
他们管它叫：
做爱。
　　　　　　　(1985)
　　

　　Thicket
　　　　　　　Duoduo 　tr. Fan Jinghua
Neither can they hear what we have repeated
Nor do they look at each other
Ostensibly they do not even care to look
Roots

In the soil search for each other and
Strangle themselves upon finding
Someone among us call
This behavior
Love

The lovers who are barely on their feet from the thicket
Are also reflecting on this act
And they call it
Making love
　　　　　　　(1985)
