祝融在跳舞

the fire god dances in the ash

從灰燼裏

the black petals

開出詭麗的花朵

a strange alluring flower

她總可以婀娜走過

her own grace

彷彿一切與他無關

nothing of his

紅色的眼晴

from earth’s depths

從土地的深處凝望你

from mouldering leaves the strew

透過散落滿地的

of twigs’ decay, red eyes behold

腐葉和枯枝

your future, mine

看進你我的未來

candles drip their tears till daybreak

臘燭垂淚到天明

one bead after another the slow ripple

一滴比一滴濃重

spreading, thickening, joining this journey

漣漪盪開，連起此去

to sky’s end, down an endless road

無盡的天涯路

from one life to the next

從今生到來世

how can you repay

你可報答得了

water’s blue affections?

湛藍波濤的深情？

purple’s our regret

紫色是我們的遺憾

the world’s human baggage

沒法擺脫的

impossible to cast off

人世的包袱

the faded paper fortunes

招貼殘舊的符籤

discarded in wilderness

委棄於野地

where leaves again sprout green

可又長出叢叢綠葉

he worships history’s beasts

他供奉歷史的怪獸

wan willows, fan palms weave

敗柳和蒲葵砌成

a thatch of weeds and shadow

映像的雜草光影

in an obscure corner

澆上祭祀的白酒

pour wine for sacrifice

在無人注意的角落

among yellow withered leaves a bright burst of red

焦黃枯葉上長出一朵嫣紅

sings words no one hears

用無人聽見的話語歌唱
