Or
It’s more like a precognition

an inflammatory grain, tightly wrapped up in itself

it took up its position in the depths of the eyelids

this looked very much like a bok choy

that took its nutrition from the soil

when someone someday, with a light touch, pressed it or removed it

or cut off its roots, with a sharp knife

hurtling its single head into the boiling water
just as you said, certain things will come

while other things may leave

look at this cold spring where the wind was everywhere bullying

a successful liar

castrating again and again, the way they pickled the bok choy

this land with my ancestral home, at this very moment

was boundless

except darkness and dilapidation


或者说
更像一种预知

一颗紧紧包裹自己的炎麦粒

在眼睑深处驻扎

这很像一颗白菜

土壤里汲取养分

某天被人轻巧地挤压、摘除

或用尖刀挑去根部

只提一颗头颅扔进滚滚沸水
正如你提过的，一些事要来

终有一些将离去

瞧这峭春寒，风到处欺凌

它们是成功的谎言家

用腌制白菜的方法一遍遍阉割

这片曾有我祖屋的土地啊

此刻除了黑，破败

它一望无际
