喝咖啡的方式

大陂(大坡池)波光

秋天的謊言滴水不漏

靈魂有些過敏乾裂

那不過是風的偶然演出

湖邊靜思

忘了眼前的波光炫技

還在昨日徘徊

心是ta隱晦的動機

人是ta無聊閒逛的影子

咖啡趁熱

    How to Drink Coffee

Autumn's lies are watertight

the soul somewhat allergic, cracked and dry

it's nothing but the wind's accidental performance

Quiet contemplation by the lake

forgetting the glittering water's showmanship

still wandering through yesterday

The mind is ta's hidden motive

the human is ta's idle, wandering shadow

Coffee while it's hot

快閃鋼琴

宇宙的中心

說了不算

ta在自創的迷宮裡

自信地團團轉

真理暈倒在快閃鋼琴上

Flash Piano

The center of the universe

doesn't get to decide

ta spins in a maze of its own making

confidently going round and round

Truth faints on a flash piano.

劇終

我在時間之流裡無法靜止不動

便想象了現在當下

偶爾又沉浸在一種人畜無害的貪念中

總是在黎明前的黑暗裡有些了悟

了悟此生劇終

以及一行不太明確的未完待續...

    THE END

Unable to stand still in the flow of time

I imagined the present moment

and now and then sank back into

a harmless little greed

There are always glimpses of realization

in the darkness before dawn

a realization that this life’s story ends

and that one vague line remains:

to be continued...

理性情勒

理性的幽微護盾

害怕無所畏懼

苦楝金黃

情勒昨日的秋光

   Rational Emotional Blackmail

Reason's subtle shield

afraid of fearlessness

Golden chinaberries

emotionally blackmailing 

yesterday's autumn light

誕生

以一種從未想過的方式

ta的現在憑空消失了

不斷自我循環的故事

無法清楚言說

奇點宇宙

我們的過去和未來

    Birth

In a way never imagined

ta's present vanished out of nowhere

A story endlessly circling itself

impossible to articulate clearly

A singularity universe

our past and future

太多

時間沒有情感

我的想象

原來想太多

空間沒有距離

虛幻假說
一直說太多

越來越熱的世界
也許人太多

    Too Much

Time has no feelings

My imagination

Turns out I think too much

Space has no distance

Illusory hypotheses

Going on saying too much

A world growing hotter

Perhaps too many people

幕

無知之幕的後面

藏著一顆全知水晶球
現實陷入了徹底的絕望

好戲正在登場

焦慮使ta黯淡無光

存在的本質看起來不在

   —— “無知之幕”借用哲學家約翰・羅爾斯(John Rawls)《正義論》(1971)提出的“Veil of Ignorance”思想實驗；但在這首詩裡，它也具有更廣泛的認識論意涵：人類被某種看不見的屏障隔絕於真相之外。

一切只是看起來而已。

    The Curtain

Behind the veil of ignorance

lies a crystal ball that knows all

reality falls into utter despair

The show is about to begin

anxiety dims ta's light

The essence of existence seems absent

   — The “veil of ignorance” draws on the thought experiment proposed by philosopher John Rawls in A Theory of Justice (1971). In this poem, however, it also carries a broader epistemological significance: humanity is separated from the truth by an invisible barrier.

Everything is only as it appears.

遺忘與記得

被遺忘的時候

人擁有了絕望的自由

吸入最初的氣息

又收藏了另一個自己

被記得的時候

人失去了完整的孤獨

送走最後的心念

也拋棄了僅剩的空無

    Forgetting and Remembering

When forgotten

one possesses the freedom of despair

draws the first breath

and keeps another self

When remembered

one loses the wholeness of solitude

sends away the final thought

and abandons the emptiness that remains

南國秋天

終將結束的未來之謎

南國秋天

看見最真實的自己

不為人間

早晨光影如詩

風裡的冥想止息

      Autumn

The mystery of a future destined to end

Autumn in the southern lands

seeing the truest self

Not for the human world

morning light and shadow like poetry

In the wind, the breath grows imperceptible.

霜降

昨日霜降於心

已涼未冷

苦楝秋光搖曳

稻浪金黃

風裡獨行自由

都為時間淡然遠去

思想起

年華猶盼

   —— 早晨讀新聞，原來昨日霜降。

    Frost's Descent

Yesterday, frost descended upon the heart

Cool already, not yet cold

The chinaberry stirs the autumn light

Golden waves of rice

Walking alone in the wind, free

All quietly receding into time

A thought arises

The years still hold their promise

   — Reading the news this morning, I learned that yesterday was Frost's Descent.

什麼？！

在YT上滑到一個科幻短片的口白，很有意思：

末日是人類將以自我毀滅的方式讓地球變得更美好。

我把這個悲劇性預言改成了大哉問：

如果末日的最佳選項是人類將以自我毀滅的方式讓地球變得更美好？

加上：

文字的本質是一種遊戲而語言就只是謊言！

疑問與驚歎

是一個

又是兩個

語言和文字

人類曾經發明的

最好玩的謊言遊戲

   —— 在語言和文字的謊言遊戲裡，偶而瞥見符號背後隱藏著詩的空白。

    What?!

Questions and exclamations

are one

and yet two

Language and writing

the most entertaining game of lies

humanity has ever invented

    — Within the lying game of language and writing,

we occasionally glimpse

the poetic emptiness hidden behind the symbols.

鬧鐘

始終鏡像中的夢之存在

你並不擁有你真正的自我

ta屬實從未醒來

謊言晦澀難懂

永恆需要短暫沉睡

鬧鐘遺失了當下

    The Alarm Clock

A dream-being, forever in the mirror

You do not possess your true self

ta has indeed never awakened

Lies are obscure and difficult to fathom

Eternity needs a brief sleep

The alarm clock has lost the present moment

不成行

薔琵颱風逼近，大陂(大坡池)彩霞滿天。

晚風的省話短講
來不及被聽見
聲音便已悄然離開

隱隱約約
殘留詩的回音

不成行

    Unformed

The evening breeze’s brief, sparing speech
too late to be heard
the voice has quietly slipped away

Vaguely, indistinctly
the lingering echo of a poem

Unwritten

零點之心

本來透明無色

為了實現永恆的幻相

我們假裝看見

卻看見人的終究無助

你忽然通向零點之心

接住了自己

言語道斷的暗夜裡

無法描述的等等之類

   —— 秋光雲影，在大陂(大坡池)池畔作這首《零點之心》。

零點，空無所有卻蘊含一切；

是當我們不再需要答案來支撐自己時，仍然能夠存在的地方。

    The Heart of Zero

Originally transparent, colorless
To bring an illusion of eternity into being
we pretend to see
yet see, in the end, human helplessness

You suddenly open a way to the heart of zero
catching yourself
In the dark night where words fall away,
the indescribable, and so on

   — Amid the autumn light and shifting clouds, I wrote “The Heart of Zero” today by the shores of Dapi (大陂，Dapo Pool大坡池).

Zero—empty yet containing everything;

it is the place where we can still exist when we no longer need answers to sustain ourselves.

等待與離開

等待

我的未來等待

詩的不邏輯

無需理由

無需解釋

ai沉睡時的語言燃燒

誰終於明白

離開

ta的昨日離開

灰燼化作幽靈

以想象為食

以記憶編織

即使時間失去了自由

唯有此心常在

    Waiting and Leaving

Waiting

My future waits

The illogic of poetry

Needs no reason

Needs no explanation

The language burns

while ai sleeps

Who finally understands

Leaving

Yesterday of ta departs

Ashes become ghosts

Feeding on imagination

Weaving with memory

Even if time has lost its freedom

Only this mind remains

短影音

不斷的記得又忘記

瞬間是美

不想執著

沒有人需要永恆

持續的未來又過去

時光虛度

不願思想

沒有人渴望真實

醒來只剩下

模糊的人生碎片

隨機演算

眾生的清醒與迷醉

    Short Videos

Remembering, then forgetting, without end

the moment is beautiful

unwilling to cling

no one needs eternity

The future keeps passing into the past

time squandered

unwilling to think

no one longs for the real

Awakening, all that remains

blurred fragments of a life

random computation

the wakefulness and intoxication of all beings
