The Forgotten Ones

Tu ER
Deeply embosomed in tranquility, the forgotten is my forgotten. The December coming to the County Wicklow, an alder lying in the lumber yard lost its root, because it was preserved in the earth by itself.

被遺忘的我們


厄土

ER Tu


遗忘属于那些精心珍藏的事物,在维克洛郡的十二月,一棵伐木场的赤杨丢掉了根系,因为它把它深藏在土里。

 

        出版社打电话过来的时候,我发现时间还很多,生活并没有逼促我。 
        远方的父亲请人翻修花园,土壤里竟挖出了我童年时的玩具,居然未朽。喜欢玩笑的父亲问我,百年后的他是否也会如此。天知道,为什么不长成那棵雪松的躯干?我反问。

        即使画上句号,一切
        也不会停止
        鲜花和野草会代替我们思考

        一棵风撼不动的树是自由的,它们无需奔波。詹姆斯芬顿说他爱上了柏林郊外高树上唱歌的一只白嘴鸦,那么美妙的语言,肯定来自遥远的国度,芬顿在梦中用烟囱帽子把它带走了,他用风干的手指端起朗姆酒的时候会问自己,那顶黑色的烟囱帽子藏在哪里?
        遗忘属于那些精心珍藏的事物,在维克洛郡的十二月,一棵伐木场的赤杨丢掉了根系,因为它把它深藏在土里。

        地面上的游走者,或许在更隐秘的深处有被遗忘了的根系。
        可是,我们被谁隐藏在这个世界上?

        别让他们忘记我
        那水仙中虚妄的灵魂
