Metamorphosis
His tongue forks, but no denying
his form is human, mostly.
Oh, he has such an ivylike voice that can sound
to any ears unblocked with firewalls!
Crawling like invertebrates, it foists into
the grand blue-sky dreams of lesser mortals,
and the throbs of its erected tentacles can perforate
their gold-fringed clouds into honeycomb,
leaving the land of honey and milk
deluged with muddy water.
Distance caves in
and souls are nullified because they have never been
registered by names;
the King of Hades is an actor, lazy by nature,
and likes to recite obscure lines from famous playwrights,
therefore his Book of Numbers is understandably intercalated
with blank pages and red dates.
Statistics feed on fleshes and produce manure
of high potency, so rich in hormone
that the law of energy conservation is out-of-date day by day
in a gigantic hot balloon.
He can smile a smile, cry a tear and smile another tear or smile,
seamlessly as if there is no smoothing-out,
while those terror-driven arms cling
to the anesthetizing sucker of a super-size leech
that ripples toward the foggy other side of sound.
They cannot feel their own hands feeling for themselves.

变形记
他舌头分岔，但不可否认
大多数时候他确实是人的模样
再说，他还有常青藤般的嗓音，能爬进
任何未被防火墙堵塞的耳朵，混入
次等凡人的青天白日梦
像无脊椎生物，而它勃起的触须
只需颤一颤
梦中的那些镶金云朵就会穿孔
成蜂窝，原本
流着蜂蜜与牛奶的大地也就浸泡在
一汪浑水之下
安全的距离塌了方，许多灵魂
被顿时取消，只因他们从未
按名字登记入册，而阎王
是个天性闲散的演员，略懂吟风弄月，善于引用
名家的冷僻字句，所以
他的账簿常有空白之页与血红的日子
统计学喜食鲜肉，拉出的肥料
也够劲，且富含荷尔蒙
足以令能量守恒定律
在蒸蒸日上的巨型热气球中
失效
他会笑一笑，流下一滴泪，再笑出一滴泪或笑出一声笑
过渡得极其自然犹如没有过渡
那些凡人之手却被恐惧驱动
吊在一只超级大水蛭致人麻醉的吸盘口，随着它
波浪般的起伏
隐入雾蒙蒙的声音彼岸
他们自己都摸不到自己
