Distance

光线从树上渐渐移开，

The light pulling away from trees,

树木在阴影中开讲

the trees speaking in shadows

对着任何一位倾听者……

to whatever listens...

某种平常如水的东西

Something as common as water

从我们的脸转身

turns away from our faces

离去。

and leaves.

群星从山丘升出

The stars rise out of the hills

——古老的国王和动物

-- old kings and animals.

行进在光的纤细隧道中。

marching in their thin tunnels of light.

再一次我发现自己

Once more l find myself

站在黑暗的码头上，抱着

standing on a dark pier, holding

一根巨大的沉默之绳。

an enormous rope of silence.
