下星期

面前的數字不要搞錯;
手中的筆隨本能擺動。
如蝶的心總飛向未來，
去追尋一個答案，
你承諾過的答案。
睡意在身軀裏沉澱，
令我想起我下沉的聲音
如何送別你遠行的身影。

胸腹間的熱病又開始發作，
四面的燈火在浮動，
你的話語隱現其間。
我的希望隨之游走
在這寂寥的長夜。

對面的紅綠燈不要看錯，
疲憊的雙腿不要思索。
下星期
帶著一陣辛辣掠過我的眼睛，
下星期
我會在漩渦中清除我的迷惑。

The Next Week

The numbers in front of me, don't get them wrong;
the pen in the hand moves by instinct.
The heart always wants to fly, like a butterfly, to the future,
to chase an answer
which you have promised to give.
Sleepiness that is sinking within my body
reminds me of my sinking voice,
and how it saw you off, onto a long trip.

Another fit of fever arises in my chest,
the lights from all quarters are drifting
with your words flashing among them.
And my hope follows them, winding down
this lonely long night.

The traffic lights across the street, don't get them wrong;
the weary legs, stop thinking!
The next week
sweeps through my eyes with pungency,
next week
I'll sweep away in a vortex my perplexity.

追日

Summer Nights

I hear the noisy raindrops hitting the ground,
And the muffled thunder rumbling in the night sky.
The water on the ground overflows,
Know not where to go.
So this is the beginning
Of the long summer season.

I recall the bauhinia in bloom on the street corner,
And the giggles of schoolgirls left under it,
And the freshness of the morning light and spring winds,
Yet the heat in the afternoon tells me,
Now it is the beginning
Of the long summer season.

After the storm, it should be cool,
Which is nice; there's also the moon
That may appear sometimes, and the usual silence of the night;
The roving stars might accompany my roving thoughts.
So this is the beginning
Of the long summer season.

Note:
bauhinia: bauhinia blakeana, also known as the Hong Kong orchid tree. Its flowering season usually begins around December and closes in March, with some trees in bloom as late as June.
