无风，无雨

No wind, no rain,

树

the tree

仅仅倒下了，像一片水果。

just fell, as a piece of fruit does.

可是，没有水果。没有丰收。

But no, not fruit. Not ripe.

没有倒下。

Not fell.

就坏掉。它被摔碎了。

It broke. It shattered.

一个锥体的，

One cone’s

树脂细胞液的添加，

addition of resinous cell-sap,

一只瘦小的鸟儿

one small-bodied bird

前来啄食甲虫

arriving to tap for a beetle.

它被摔碎了。

It shattered.

什么言语，什么动作，

What word, what act,

难道我们认为这真的无关紧要吗？

was it we thought did not matter？
