A icewine bottle in purple color

(draft)


Lingzis, March 2007


If you find an icewine bottle in purple color,
in a ocean or a beach,
don't open it, please,
Just place it lightly into the water,
Let it go along the current.

It was a long time ago,
when I was living in the world,
I carefully treasured up my love in both colors of pink and blue
into a slender icewine bottle with no color.

It was in a sunset, as well as the sunset of my life,
I dug a little hole by my fingers under a tree called cocoanut,
buried the bottle together with two petals of china redbud flower,
dropped icewine by half bottle,

 
And, then, burnt one piece of red candle.

Please don't open the bottle, please,
when you pick up the bottle that looks in purple color,
Please, slowly, put it back to the water,
Let it go along with the current.
 

 


紫酒樽

(Translated by 剑花烟雨江南)


海滩上的徜徉者
如果你发现了紫色的酒樽
请不要打开
把她轻轻地放入大海
她将跟随海浪的脚步
永远流浪

此前
以往
生活在世上
那绯红色的甜蜜
蓝色的梦想
我用透明的酒樽
悄悄将她们珍藏

童年
朝阳
椰树下
那几片初蕾的花瓣
陪同盛满的酒樽
一起掩埋在小手掘起的地方
半杯水酒
几滴红烛的眼泪
为她们送葬

大海中的游弋者
如果你捡起了紫色的酒樽
请不要打开
把她慢慢地放回大海
她将在属于她的天堂里
跌跌荡荡
流向远方.........
