長廊昏暗，再望不見其他人

No one around, the corridor long and dark.

是誰忘了開燈

Who turned the lights off?

走到轉角的地方

As we walk to the corner

我和你的肩膀幾乎相碰

our shoulders nearly touch.

我曾像擁有水晶球的吉甫賽女人

Like a Gypsy with her crystal ball

從各人眸中望見各種心思

I once read thoughts in others’ eyes.

你的眼睛卻稠醪如昨夜未喝盡的酒

But yours were thick as last night’s wine

眼底沉澱層層啡黑色雲翳

and layered in dark clouds.

錯覺像遠方駛過的街車

As if a car passed,

燈影一瞬劃過

something lights

片刻照亮我們的處境

this briefly awkward moment

又復歸向固執的黑暗

amid the pressing dark.

我總想變成一隻黑貓

I always wanted to be a black cat

伏在角落只剩一對亮眼觀看世界

crouched in a corner, gazing coldly on the world,

冷眼望你在聚光燈下

so see you now, spotlit

逐漸雕塑自己為一尊銅像

like a statue in bronze, self-sculpted,

而我打算把身軀溶入黝黝的夜色

while I meld with night.

而此刻你走在我身旁

You walk ahead, giving off

發出熱衷領路的雄性氣味

the fragrance of a male.

我卻像被黑巾蒙住了眼睛

Blindfolded, I stretch my hand

我卻只能伸出雙手摸索

into the air of endlessly extending space,

在不斷擴展的黑域內想像

the only thing between us.

空間大小、你我之間距離遠近

除了空氣，我沒有掌握住什麽

Somewhere a car growls by,

and then this silence

錯覺一瞬遠方有車開過

more fatal than a whisper.

引擎低吼一聲歸向命定的寂靜

寂靜中我彷若聽見有人喁喁私語

The lights still out,

I cannot find the switch.

還是沒人開燈

Is the exit far ahead?

我依然摸索不到開關

Our toes feel for the edges of the stairs.

出口的方向是否真在前面？

我們小心地用腳尖探測梯階的邊緣
