And it was at that age

Poetry arrived in search of me

I don’t know, I don’t know

Where it came from

From winter or a river?

I don’t know how or when

No, they were not voices

They were not words, nor silence

But from a street I was 1)summoned from the branches of night

2)Abruptly from the others

Among violent fires or returning alone

There I was without a face and it touched me

I did not know what to say

My mouth had no way with names

My eyes were blind and something started in my soul

Fever or forgotten wings

And I made my own way 3)deciphering that fire

And I wrote the first 4)faint line

Faint without substance

Pure nonsense, pure wisdom of someone who knows nothing

And suddenly I saw the heavens unfastened

And open planets 5)palpitating 6)plantations

Shadow 7)perforated riddled with arrows, fire and flowers

The winding night, the universe

And I 8)infinitesimal being drunk with the great 9)starry 10)void

Lightness image of mystery felt myself a pure part of the 11)abyss

I wheeled with the stars

My heart 12)broke loose on the wind

诗意

就在那时

诗意觅我而来

我不清楚，我不明白

它从何方寻来

或是寒冬？或是河流？

我不知道它是如何，又是何时到来

不，那不是声音

不是文字，更非寂静

那是街头长夜不时的召唤

蓦地它来了

在狂野眩目的星火中，在寂寞归家的路上

我好似迷茫而恍惚，迷离中被它攫住

无以名状

难以言述

视线模糊，灵魂开始了异动

灼热与被遗忘的羽翼

我试图诠释那一团火簇

于是我写下第一行苍白的诗句

苍白得飘渺

这只是胡言乱语，无知者的思想

突然间我看见天堂打开了门锁

星儿迸出，在林宇间舞动

姿影婆娑，如箭, 如火，如花

起风的夜晚，苍穹浩渺

渺小的我沉醉在这星光璀璨的长空

轻盈神秘的影像中，我如沧海一粟

随着星儿一道旋转飘忽

心儿与风自由放逐
