Heart’s Desire
Always, I have played with the stubborn vision that my beloved would
Walk down from the screen wall of time
and sit in front of me.
We gaze, we whisper, our words clogging and flowing like algae-jammed stream,
And yet we feel the music gurgling between us.
Then the day is over; then the night is over.
When the rosy sky lifts and fades,
My face and eyes grow dim and opaque.
The sunrays strike light into my mind:
For the whole night I have been waiting for this moment to prove
That a new day will never come to us.
Now my fear is exposed like justice is done,
And I barely manage not to turn my head to your back.
Loss, if not lost twice, is not a loss,
And I dare not again bring my beloved to mind.

心爱的人
总会痴愚地玩弄一个愿景
那心中珍爱的人会突然从时间的墙幕上走下来
坐在我的对面
我们凝视 我们低语 我们的话像绿藻堵塞的流水一样行止
可我们能感到我们中间涓涓的音乐
然后白天就黑了 然后黑夜就白了
当晨曦铺展的玫瑰开始褪色
我的脸和眼睛都黯淡无光
阳光刺目 我豁然开窍
原来 我彻夜都在等待这个时刻向我证明
新的一天不是为我们而来
恐惧被揭露 犹如正义得到伸张
于是我好不容易忍住 没有回头看你离去的背影
——丧失 没有失去两次 就不算失去
我再也不敢唤醒心底珍爱的人
