《暑假》
与童年告别后，我们第一次
重新经历人生的暑假
宇宙也跟着进入这个故事序列
一路目睹，街道上冷冷清清
三三两两的年轻人穿着浴衣
我想象她们约会从海边归来
孩童骑着自行车
在商店街转来转去
喫茶店的草莓刨冰是旧时味道
可是奇怪，我的童年并不发生在
这座隔海相望的岛屿

《海浪》
在乐器击打，大雨声中
昏沉。而短暂地睡去
梦见一些枯萎的词句
其中半句是没关系——
死亡会将它变得对称
然后在鼓声中醒来
脑袋里的那一只，
倏然停下。
现实的消波块
将我们从浪涌中抱回

《苹果》
在早晨，我吃下一些硬块
像吃掉石头偶尔柔软的心
藏在果皮下面，脆的
和牙齿对抗
它就成为了我的
运气好的话
最终会流进细胞
或者我像是冰河时期
的人类，突然暴死。
两三千年后的春天
一只装满种子的陶罐
被发掘出来。我的胃。

想像一根針穿過寫真一角
你就固定在了我的時間裡
凝結的空氣沿著玻璃門窗
緩慢流下
還沒墜落就蒸發了
陽光是最令人厭惡的
比情敵可惡
我嫉妒它肆無忌憚觸碰你
你也會瞇起眼睛
夾縫中的世界
我又能佔據幾毫米
幾秒 幾克
再睜開眼時
如此無辜的眼神
誰又能責怪你呢
清澈的眼淚收集好了嗎
⋯⋯

《抽选人生》
我的人生在这里落下
全部两场，再加上个月三场
一整年我在回落，回落
的漩涡里等待
一次将我救起的机会
这机会与他人均等
就如同坠落与死亡
也是极公平的

《闹钟》
昨夜躺下时
我小小的心悬挂在墙上
在清晨丁零当啷乱响
像发条拨乱无法被回正
一座小小的孤岛
毛细血管是散开的雨林
不连贯的记忆抽出
它们一点点崩溃的细节
我的眼睛像是放映机
将寂静投射到屋顶和墙上
想把白天的影像
保存得更长一点点
在我孱弱的睡眠里
一个巨大的夜晚
我的心显得更小，更小
小得难以隐瞒一个哈欠

冬天我寧靜地望著你
春天對你感到悸動
夏天有取消的約會
秋天，追問夏天的補償
愛上你，就愛上了四季
愛上語氣的停頓
愛上街邊的看板
愛上日常的字跡
把一本小說翻開
故事不關於我，不關於你
但它是用你的語言寫成的
我就感到很美
⋯⋯

from hot words to trigger pull
how thin is the line
nightly forest walk
a big owl
keeps its eye on me

‘Something or Other’
Patience in a nutshell:
I have none
And everything’s electric
Sizzling with ambition
Lost in seconds passing
Drags away my soul
Each breath a tiny whisper
Heaving life into the night
Scattered dreams a haunting
Train-wreck crashing through
My desiccated brainwaves
Superheated with emojis
Vapourware a hunted bunyip
Seeking hard the pathway forward
Shards of glass all flaming hot,
Yet beyond that hell a fountain
give thanks out loud
to everything
scant rain
a paltry reaping
any friend at all
worship
water
esteem
soil
treasure
fruit trees
beans
berries
grain
perpetuate
pollen transfer
midwife
the harvest
wish the living
well
watch stars
acknowledge
the circle
all
must feed
and be fed
tell those stories
Happy Caturday!
mouse escaped
the tomcat tries hard
to not lose his cool

Thân em thời trắng phận em tròn,
Bảy nổi ba chìm mấy nước non.
Rắn nát mặc dầu tay kẻ nặn,
Nhưng em vẫn giữ tấm lòng son.
Bánh Trôi (Floating Cake)
My body is white; my fate, softly rounded,
rising and sinking like mountains in streams.
Whatever way hands may shape me,
at center my heart is red and true.

七沉三浮歷山川。
柔軟堅實任人捏，
我心依舊赤誠存。

"Give me a little less
with every dawn."
Marjorie Lotfi performs John Burnside's "Prayer" in a film directed by Savannah Acquah, from a new series from the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation & the Writers’ Mosaic
The wind sings the breeze
Of ancient places.
The best perfumes of all...
Freedom among the Roses,
Justice among the Sunflowers,
Courage among the Tulips,
Goodness among the Snowdrops.
I'll live forever
In that field of wonders.
My eternal Spring.

Rare, oh it's so rare
To meet somebody
Able to understand you
So deeply that
You never feel alone.

Thae laddies in the Celtic shirts,
a baker’s dozen
lumbering all the way to the summit cairn
the hot last Saturday of May
as larks trilled
and the loch-side braes released their midgies…

We needed it—and he stood there,
feet on the dry porch, saying rain,
cloud and skyful, the sound of drumming…

Love rules. Love laughs. Love marches. Love is the wolf that guards the gate.
Love is the food of music, art, poetry. It fills us and fuels us and fires us to create.
Love is terror. Love is sweat. Love is bashed pillow, crumpled sheet, unenviable fate…

Tenderness is mandatory.
Careless lurches may draw blood,
enthusiasms leave abrasions,
excessive ardour has been known
to snap off spinal plates…

Today, 1 June, is Dinosaur Day 🦖
it is dawn and my wife is coming to bed
and she has been watching a film about the life of charlie parker
and the air in the bedroom is silent while she undresses
and the light is there at the side of the curtain beyond her head…
