黑箱

愛是極其重要的廢話

只容下

偏心的細節權重

我們都睡著了

黑箱宇宙裡

躲著一隻神秘的貓

Black Box

Love is vitally important nonsense

making room only

for weighted details

and partial hearts

We have all fallen asleep

Inside the black-box universe

a mysterious cat hides

路過

路過妳的城市

想不起妳的樣子

想不起妳說過的話

路過妳的城市

記憶下車

隨風遠去

時間與我

只是路過你的城市

    Passing Through

Passing through your city

I can no longer recall your face

or the words you once spoke

Passing through your city

memory steps off the train

and drifts away with the wind

Time and I

are only passing through your city

心理學

想象抽離
一段被無視的見證旅程

淚水之後
只剩下鹽分塵埃

等待

風化無形

    Psychology

Imagination withdraws,

a journey of witnessing

left unseen.

After tears,

only salt

and dust remain.

Waiting

to weather away

into the formless.

不可得

一入出息為宇宙現在，

止息如如當下；

是眾善者，
過去與未來之心實不可得。

瑪雅幻化遊戲，

意識而已。

    The Unattainable

A single breath in and out

is the present of the cosmos,

stillness rests

in suchness and the now.

For those who dwell in goodness,

the mind of the past

and the mind of the future

cannot truly be found.

Maya's game of transformations,

nothing but consciousness.

影子

始終在投射之中
我是我自己的影子

在黑夜裡

在日出以後

離開

從未離開

   —— 存在並非擁有影子，而只是被影子所共同構成的某種無從確定的關係。

    Shadow

Always within projection

I am my own shadow

in the night

after sunrise

leaving

never having left

   — Existence is not the possession of a shadow; it is an indeterminate relation jointly constituted by shadows.

地球戲院

載玻片之上
二維的立體演出

蓋玻片之下

渺小的偉大想象

人間世界

現正上映中

    Earth Theater

Upon a microscope slide

a three-dimensional performance in two dimensions

Beneath a coverslip

the grand imagination of the small

The human world

now showing

無用

匆匆行過

隱約

來不及內耗

前天下了一場雨

空洞之心

ta的無用發明

    Useless

Passing in haste

vaguely

with no time for inner friction

The day before yesterday

it rained

A hollow heart

ta's useless invention

陌生宇宙

時間吞噬了記憶

自我是僅剩的存在

但有一種本能

名之為愛

呼吸著夏夜的空氣

靜靜地離開

夢的陌生宇宙裡

從未明白

    Strange Universe

Time devoured memory

the self remained the only existence

Yet there is an instinct

called love

Breathing the air of a summer night

quietly leaving

Within the strange universe of dreams

nothing was ever understood

抽離

無需惡意

便已傷了真心

微光抽離

言語

總是善良

    Withdrawal

No malice was needed

to wound a sincere heart

the faint light withdrew

words

are always kind

盛夏

跟誰都聊得來
黎明前安靜無聲

做了一個夢

盛夏序曲

半個小時之後

蟬鳴交響

    Midsummer

Easy to talk with anyone

silent before dawn

I had a dream

prelude to midsummer

half an hour later

the cicadas erupt in symphony

都蘭訪友回程路上

夜色無邊
黑暗中獨行

人在天地之間

當下前路

自己就是光

   —— 都蘭，台東東海岸阿美族語Etolan音譯，早年族人開墾時把挖出來的石頭堆疊起來，名為Etolan，意即石堆之地。後倚都蘭山，前臨浩瀚太平洋，我從小的夢幻之鄉。

    On the Way Back from Visiting a Friend in Etolan

Night without end

walking alone in the dark

a human being

between heaven and earth

the road before me now

I myself am the light

   — Etolan is a transliteration of an Amis name from Taiwan’s eastern coast in Taitung.

In earlier days, when the Amis people first cultivated the land, they piled together the stones unearthed from the earth and called the place Etolan — “the land of stone heaps.”

With Dulan Mountain behind it and the vast Pacific Ocean before it,

it has been the landscape of my dreams since childhood.

未遇

愛人

但不能愛一個人

那裡沒有世界

說話

但不能說真心話

那裡沒有聲音

回憶

但不能留在昨日

那裡沒有時間

活著

但不能想象存在

那裡沒有當下

    Unmet

To love

but not love a person

there is no world there

To speak

but not speak the truth within

there is no voice there

To remember

but not remain in yesterday

there is no time there

To live

but not imagine existence

there is no present there
