池水反射之光

Light the pond reflects

漫不經心又全神貫注：

is both diffused and absorbed:

今日，水面

today the surface

裹著一層密織的雲

enshrouded in close-knit clouds

沒有鱸魚沒有鱒魚沒有我破水而出。

no bass no trout nor I breach.

五枚鴨蛋在海韭菜中

Five duck eggs nested

安巢。當我落腳，

in arrow grass. At my footfall,

母鴨驚飛 。

the mother flies up.

朋友們各奔東西。你若不在，

Friends scatter. With you gone,

有誰還認得我？

who will know me anymore?

缺席首先

Absence a presence

是一種在場：像水

at first: as if, like water

被釋放，精神

let loose, the spirit

不具形體向外流動

unembodied flows outwards

游入最親近的那個。

into those of us closest.

彷彿一幅埃舍爾的畫，

As in an Escher,

負空間，那爲你所缺席的

the negative space, the space

空間，

absented by you,

在強烈凝視之後，跳出來，

stared at intently, pops out,

支配畫面

dominating the picture

直至視線調整，

until we adjust

黑色背景後移，

and the black cutout recedes,

你

leaving a new take

以一個新的形象顯露，

on you, a structural plane

全由精神構成。

sharply incorporeal.
