Axes

斧头

After whose stroke the wood rings,

伐木，发出轻鸣

And the echoes!

而回声！

Echoes traveling

回声振荡

Off from the center like horses.

似飞马自中心四散

The sap

树液

Wells like tears, like the

泉涌如泪，似

Water striving

水流奋力

To re-establish its mirror

重塑明镜

Over the rock

漫过巉岩

That drops and turns,

滴落，翻转

A white skull,

白色头骨

Eaten by weedy greens.

为荒绿蚕食

Years later I

多年后，我

Encounter them on the road—-

邂逅它们于远道——

Words dry and riderless,

言辞干瘪，无人驾驭

The indefatigable hoof-taps.

不倦的马蹄踢踏作响

While

而此时

From the bottom of the pool, fixed stars

自那潭底，恒定的星空

Govern a life.

主宰人生
