心靈中閃出奔騰的影

Her soul’s a leaping shadow

突然，遭一匹獸拖住

tethered to a beast.

愛是一根無形的巨柱

Love is the pillar, thick, invisible,

當她閃身而出

she yearns from horseflesh to embrace.

雙手抱住它，它就存在

The lower half

可她下半身的雄馬

hauls back, its male-strong joints set

身子後挫，移動的骨節是劇烈的震央

with the weight of a sliding mountain,

一座大山傾側下沉，馬蹄

its hooves jammed deep in mud,

已塌進污衊的泥中

though her longing springs from earth.

而大地是她龐沛的力源

Human melds to horse by blood, by muscle,

人與馬的駁口，用血肉來焊接

the heart rent by two bodies.

她裂心感受錯體的劇痛

Will her trembling hands

緊張的雙手似乎在顫抖

go slack, her lifted head

會不會突然鬆弛

decline to a horseneck

高昂的頸骨軟成馬頭

bowing to the soil?

向大地俯首？

The world’s a gaudy, turning carousel,

世界是旋轉的走馬燈

a herd of horses crossing plains.

一羣馬走過平原

Their lowered mouths gnaw grass, gulp water,

低頭嚙草，喝水

but I see her still

我卻看見她

preserving the luminous coal,

舉著孤獨的火

still struggling, wrestling

照自己的靈魂

with the half that is this horse,

拉扯角力，而我是那下沉的馬身

myself.
