斧头

Axes

砍出年轮，

After whose stroke the wood rings,

和回音！

And the echoes!

回音外传

Echoes traveling

像四散的马匹。

Off from the center like horses.

汁液

The sap

涌流如泪，如那

Wells like tears, like the

水竭力

Water striving

重归平镜

To re-establish its mirror

于岩石之上

Over the rock

溅落旋转，

That drops and turns,

一个白颅骨，

A white skull,

为乱茵吞噬。

Eaten by weedy greens.

多年之后我

Years later I

在路上遭遇它们，

Encounter them on the road—-

言词枯竭无主，

Words dry and riderless,

马不停蹄。

The indefatigable hoof-taps.

而

While

自水泊之底，恒星

From the bottom of the pool, fixed stars

引导着生命。

Govern a life.
