9. Primitive Language / 原始的语言

"Primitive Language"



Whether still some type of language exists

between far mountain and near water, and

between us?



The robin had predicted the dawn in the forest before

As the prehistoric fish fossils also once had found

themselves in the deepest seabed

Outside the grotto these calls in excitement

these "en!" and "ah!" after achieve

the hunger and thirsty demands, these deer's groan

And at that glacier's edge

the jumper falls off cliff to crash

instantaneously extends his arms, that simple

hand signal



Once those un-describes, the primitives of us

have been translated into the popular writings

the peach blossom ended earlier in March

On the wane in night of canyon they collide

the innumerable questions



Other shore, that neglected pledge

which was only one step too late to fulfil

and that outdated passage

ticket, is now shaking in the returning snowstorms



"原始的语言"



是否仍然有一种语言

存在于远山近水

和我们之间



知更鸟预言过林边

破晓的时分,史前的

鱼化石也曾在海底的最深处

找到了同类,岩洞两端的

那些惊叫,那些"en! a!",那些

在达到饥渴的需求之后,麋鹿的

呻吟,那冰川的边缘

跳崖者坠落的瞬间

伸展双臂的那个

简单的的手势



当难以描述的原始的一切

被翻译成流行文字,桃花

便在三月间早谢,凋零在

夜的峡谷,碰撞出无数问号



彼岸,那怠慢了一步

而无法兑现的承诺

和那张过期的

船票,在重返的暴风雪中瑟瑟发抖
