簷
Eaves
雨水的腳步在頭頂上輕輕踩著:
Rainwater tiptoes overhead:
睡吧,睡吧
sleep, sleep
庭前的水滴在夢裡呼喚:
In the courtyard, water drips from the dream:
醒來,醒來
wake up, wake up
灶
Stove
把草的頭髮放進去
Feed dry grass or straw,
把樹的手臂放進去
split tree limbs
歲月,是灰燼
Spines of fire
放出煙的脾氣
convey smoke’s disposition
火的骨氣
Time turns to ashes
棧
Hanging Pathway
畫兩根柱子一截橫木
Draw two beams with a third crossing
旅人被拋進夢的墓穴
so travelers might tumble toward a tomb of dreams
畫一條懸空小路
Draw a path hung in air
遠方被預告
where the far land fabled
但時間還未到盡頭
lies ahead
