有一種姿勢眼看即將展開:
A stance about to form:
露水點滴蒸發,太陽淹遲淪陷為了
drop by drop the dew
反覆重來。背對那個方向
burns off, the sun once more declines
鶴他預言地站立
so it may rise.
或許將對我們宣告
A crane, oracular, faces west
有些啟示,一個物種界外彷彿
as if in prophecy, its cold, alien gaze
陌生的異類先行者以同樣的
branched from countless chances.
冷眼回望那偶發的次情節
See in the wind that stark shape,
暴亂的訴求──
first to last rare as our own.
認知這時風中
Dawn glows through lifted wings,
和我一樣稀有的始終
shaped yet shapeless. From the depth
是這種不可或忘的嶙峋之姿
of all losses, grief
或掀動兩翼於朝暉裏作有形與無之舞
is a piercing cry.
以一聲長唳發自我們失落的九皋深處
