译作舟 - Two Lips (图)

watercolor




两片唇

请不要低估
时间的冷酷无情，女孩！

它杀人的武器
深藏不露; 刀锋
那样锐利，能将西风
一劈为二！真相是
人们沉醉于
它酥软的抚摸 因为
它情人般的双手
柔情四溢

你！你的双唇，漠然
艳红，或许是美的
珍品。你的双眸，灰蓝
透明，比最精美的丝锻
还要光彩夺目，但
女孩，请不要骄傲
因为赞美，如同声望名誉
仅是话语。空气。单薄
不异于影子内容的
所有。令人痛苦！

时间可以抹去一切
除了你灵魂中的
珍贵！我的文字，也不过是
人呼吸的音节，
无重的氧气
在两颗相通的心灵之间
穿行

TWO  LIPS

--by 作舟

Don't underestimate

the cruelty of Time, young lady!

It murders with the most

discreet weapon; its blade

so sharp, it can slice the west

wind in half! It's true that one

might fall for the pleasurable

caress because its hands are so

soft and lover-like.

And you! Your lips, the indifferent

red, might be the top item

of Beauty; your eyes, the trans-

parent blue & gray, can out-

shine the finest satin, but

young lady, don't be so proud

for praise, like honor or a name,

is mere words. Air. A thin

reckoning that equals the contents

of a shadow. Suffering!

Time can erase them all

except the jewel of your

Soul! My words, too, are mere

syllables of human breathing,

oxygen weighing next to

nothing and traveling in and out 

of two reconcilable minds.
