自由是對恐懼的承擔
活著創造了信仰
壁虎又名守宮
自由是對神秘的消化
混沌私生了我們的宇宙
最近開始欣賞街拍
自由是對一切衡量的歸零
數字重新編寫了情緒
城市依舊日中為市
自由是對自由的自我解放
單戀單戀了人類的思想
靈魂暗地裡計劃逃亡
Freely Defined
Freedom is the courage to carry fear.
Being alive has invented faith.
The gecko—called shougong, the palace-guard—keeps to the wall.
Freedom is the digestion of mystery.
Chaos birthed our universe out of wedlock.
Lately I’ve begun to relish street photography.
Freedom is resetting every measure to zero.
Numbers have rewritten our moods.
The city still keeps its market at noon.
Freedom is freedom’s self-liberation.
Unrequited love has unrequited human thought.
The soul is secretly plotting an escape.
—— A finely detailed pen-and-ink drawing by Lumicat: the gecko, also called shougong.
Each night they perch on the earthen wall of the Earthinking Towsiunn House, quietly watching me write poems.
Their round, marble eyes seem like mobile, real-time lenses installed in our human world by a higher-dimensional realm.
Maybe I'm just a Truman—Truman of The Truman Show—who writes poems to pass the time in the evenings when I'm bored, and Gecko was my first, and sometimes only, reader.
