視覺的古鍵鈴，透光的空心月

To the eye, an ancient bell. Translucent hollow moon.

未見的縫璺隱隱含吐破裂的浪聲

Microscopic fault may breathe a wave of cracks.

指頭點渡，薄甲輕敲

Merely a touch, the tap of thin fingernails.

碎與未碎之間

From whole to broken,

風中小瓦的飲泣

the faint sigh of a rooftile in the wind.

我的心為你本來的完整

I take this frailty to heart,

耿耿陷落於得失

the fear of gain or loss,

隱藏的驚懼溢滴如簷雨

the trembling of rainbeads at an eave,

一滴，一滴，又一滴

one drop, another,

掌心為你漸漸降溫的乳色無故發熱

my palms damp while your milky color cools.

顫抖的雙腕將你齊眉舉起

I raise you in respect,

好像只有大光的純粹

as if pure light might suspend you.

才托得住你短暫的行程

Created, but made for ruin,

真的，誰忍心你貞亮的弧岸

the chaste arc of your rim

受煙，沾油，與一堆熟米爛粥黏黏糊糊

suffering smoke, oil stains, crusts of rice or meal.

誰忍心你被造，又淪亡

Soft rain nourishes the ear. Moon-silvered sickle of frost.

聽覺的潤物雨，月鍍的鐮刀霜

Unseen oblivion hones its affection.

未見的遺忘慢慢磨削深刻的鍾愛

How spent the mountains, how forgotten the ardors of earth.

山何委頓，地竟忘情

Create or not create—

造與未造之間

in this clay, the great hand hesitates.

泥上大手的遲疑
