Three years ago the music stopped,

三年前樂音停止

an empty ring appeared on the glass,

空指環劃過玻璃表面

a small patch of sky

一小塊兒天空

grew from the window.

從窗上栽下

Speak

講話

yet make no sound.

但不再發出聲音

Beyond the window, scattered words,

話語在窗外散開

as soon as I see them, become apples,

看它們它們就變成蘋果

their flesh soaked through by sound.

聲音浸透了果肉

Smoke wants always to seek its own source.

煙，老是想回到冒出它們的地方

Three years ago, I planted

三年來在坑裏

a tree in a hole.

我栽下了樹

Before it stands often

有著很美麗面孔的人

someone with a beautiful face.

常在樹前站立

Others come to mock me.

看到要譏笑我的人走來

Fallen leaves blanket the hole.

落葉，就把坑覆蓋……
