Amid the forest’s stately silence,
那時四野凜然無聲齊為野薑倒影
glints at a riverside
璀燦在溪邊不言語且低頭而有懷舊的
rife with flowering ginger,
情緒,山風似曾相識,蓄意吹亂鬢腳
the bows of its heavy blossoms
帶些許忿恚浮出水面微涼若子夜漣漪
inviting memory. A mountain breeze
或午時反覆的雲來襲。看那無意間
familiar, cool as midnight, stirs the water,
錯失的手印殘留在迷亂時刻,且猜測
mussing my hair almost in rebuke,
其中訊息一二:隱遁的林妖曾經失路相與
calling and dismissing mid-day clouds.
邂逅又怎樣僥倖脫身已不復記憶似乎
See in the mud of the riverbank
那時四野上下萬籟俱寂,遠近惟一發光的是她
a handprint, hasty, unexpected,
單純的影在水底搖動提示東南風將路過提示有情
as if to say a forest siren
were lost, and when we approached,
fled like a vanishing memory.
There in the deep solemnity
of wilderness, her sparkling shadow
swayed on the riverbed, promising
the southeast wind would rise,
its own talisman.
