葬禮

我們為從未存在的亡者舉行葬禮
在日頭即將西沉的寧静時刻
哀傷的餘光送走了又一天的疲憊勞苦
撫慰孤獨心靈的唯有永恆的黑夜

literal translation:
      Funeral
We hold a funeral for the dead who never existed,
in the tranquil moment when the sun is about to set.
A sorrowful afterglow sends off another day’s weary toil,
and only the eternal night soothes the lonely heart.

Free translation 1:
We bury the dead that never were,
in the hush when the sun leans westward.
Grief’s afterglow shepherds the day’s worn labors away;
only the endless night eases a solitary soul.

Free translation 2:
We hold a wake for what was never born—
at the quiet verge of the sun’s descent.
A mournful afterlight sees the day’s toil off,
and only the everlasting dark can comfort the lone heart.
