Moments of Eternity
[To Someone]
The rubber band of moments, and by moment only,
Is stretched and tensed, translucently
Superimposing itself over time,
While space is tightened and thickened.
On the stretches of the sand that girdle the South Pacific islands,
Small flowers of pale orange
Are washed away and float back
To preserve the existential equilibrium between claw-prints and wave-teeth.
Yes, birds from Siberia
Come and go, fluttering the same pairs of wings.
Who would be so bored as to trace
Their color difference between the tail-wind and head-wind flight?
Only we hope to set our bare feet on every moment
To pedal the vibrating chest of the ocean.

有时的永恒
[赠人]
只是有时，有时的橡皮带
拉长的薄，半透明地
叠映在时间之上
而空间被束紧
围起南太平洋小岛的一条条沙滩上
浅橘色的小碎花
洗去又漂上来
在爪痕与浪齿间守持生命的恒态
是的，西伯利亚的鸟儿
来了又去，鼓振的都是同一双翅膀
有谁会闲到追测
它们在顺风与逆风中的色泽
只是我们想裸足于有时
踩响大海的九曲回肠
