   9. 拜访寺庙 - 灵

   拜访寺庙 翻译：诗验室 借助湿婆的灵伽我们膜拜了 呜咽的三相神 “我们席地而坐，一想起锡安就潸然泪下。”【1】 她那抛过光的宝座，冰冷的， 在水火中复活。 她的残骸，也是冰冷的， 为消失的迹象发出一声叹息。 时间终会出现么？雨会来么？ 我们博学的朋友，谈及不变的形而上学。 然而就连最为抽象的实体 都得被迫带着困苦绕道而行。 他知道么？他知道么？温柔的帕伽雅会回复么？【2】 再等弗拉季米尔和爱斯特拉冈站起，【3】 “Nous sommes les marionnettes du monde.”【4】 一团在狂喜中燃烧与结束的火焰。 “Je vois alors qu'ils la joue comme un jouet.”【5】 瞧瞧看吧，一位女孩的碎片。 最终我管好自己的土地了吗？【6】 她最后的意识，淹没在一堆死亡的照片中。 因为每一颗刺穿善良淑女的子弹， 都刻着这些假偶像与假币膜拜者的名字。 我又听见你的声音， 苍白、悬而未决中不满的震动： “你已犯下 — 通奸罪：但那是在另一个国度， 再说了，那丫头已经死了。”【7】 所以现在轻轻忘掉我吧，因为你和我， 如果你曾许过愿，可能是朋友。

   9. visit to the shrine - 杰

   Visit to the Shrine by Derek Wang By Shiva’s lingam we worship the Trimurti that weeps We sat down and whimper, when we remembered Zion[1]. Her burnish’d throne, arctic, resuscitates in water and fire. Her remains, arctic as well, A single sigh for the vanished signs. Will there ever be time? Will there ever be rain? Our friend, the polymath, talks of constant metaphysics. Yet even the most abstract entity is forced to circumambulate in distress. Does he know? Does he know? Will the tender Parjanya ever respond [2]? Wait once more as Vladimir and Estragon erect [3], Nous sommes les marionnettes du monde[4]. A flame that consumes and consummates in ecstasy. Je vois alors qu'ils la joue comme un jouet[5]. Regard and behold, the fragments of a girl. Have I set my land in order at last [6]? Her last consciousness, drown in the stream of dead images. For every bullet impaled on the kind demoiselle, imprints the name of these, worshipping false idols and pence. I hear your voice again, pale, unsatisfied oscillation in suspense: Thou hast committed— Fornication: but that was in another country, And besides, the wench is dead[7]. So gently forget me now, for you and I, if you wished, might have been friends.

   7. 废墟中的一切 - 莹

   废墟中的一切 翻译：诗验室 这么长时间以来我一直在写这首诗 藤状植物与树根已将我的脚重重包围。 有时候他们在顺着我的大腿攀爬时会挤压它， 分散了我的注意力。我低头一看； 杂草正从地板间长出。 我抬头，看见墙壁都已裂开。 我转头，已经很久没有这么 往外看了。原来的商业街 已被树木和森林占据。一只野猪 弄伤我的一位邻居，老鹰直冲而下 扑向残骸。如果我可以再写 两三行，我想，可是 屋顶下陷，阳光使我 双眼灼痛。我被迫放弃这首诗。

   7. everything in ruins - Simon Alderwick

   everything in ruins by Simon Alderwick I've been working on this poem so long vines and tree roots have wrapped around my feet. Sometimes they squeeze as they crawl up my legs, breaking my concentration. I look down; grass and weeds are sprouting through the floorboards. I look up and see the walls are all cracked. I turn my head, look outside for the first time in a long time. Tall trees and forest where the high street used to be. A wild hog mauls one of my neighbours, and hawks swoop down on the remains. If I could just finish another couple of lines, I think, but the ceiling caves in and I'm blinded by sunlight. I'm forced to abandon my work.

   6. 我 - 鹿

   我 作者：Mary Ventura 希望、失望、绝望、渴望、奢望、巴望、指望，可是，我是个瞎子。 听话、听任、听命、听信、听政、听说、听凭，可是，我是个聋子。 可悲、可叹、可笑、可怜、可惜、可取、可能，可是，我只能 听从、跟从、盲从、顺从、服从、遵从，能不能不从？

   6. Me - 杰

   Me translated by PLS (In Chinese) there’s a vision in hope, disappointment, despair, desire, chimera, expectation, and yet, I am blind; it requires listening to be obedient, to let alone, to take orders, to attend to state affairs, to hear of things, to allow, and yet, I am deaf. and an ability to be pathetic, regrettable, laughable, pitiful, sorrowful, commendable, possible, and yet, I am only able to obey, to tag along, to follow blindly, to yield, to devote, to comply, can I not agree?

   5. 取自《禁止之物》- 莹

   取自《禁止之物》 致约瑟夫·格里登 翻译：诗验室 方圆数百里内 空无一人 然而一条脊椎及其肋骨 悬挂着 将土地分割开来的 铁丝 — 下一个几乎 被其僵硬的旧皮裹住， 在边缘处 被撕开 — 破旧的阿根廷国旗不向任何人打招呼 从未离开 要想在巴塔哥尼亚的风中 安息 — 下一个 眼睛仍在又大又美 又死气沉沉 — 下一个 — 下一个 — 每走几步 下一个 — 直到仍在挣扎的那个 本可以被拯救的那个。 但生存是唯一一种 从不悬 挂在此处被展示的状态（再说了 方圆数百里内 空无一人）。当最后一位后代 因那些用以 保护无人守护之地 的荒漠灌木 与倒刺 而失去性命时他们在想 什么？方圆数百里内 空无一人

    5. from things to ban - 杰

    from things to ban for Joseph F. Glidden by Roy Duffield there’s no-one around for hundreds of miles but a spine and its ribs hang the wire that cuts divisive the land—the next half- swaddled in its former skin stiffened, ripped away at the edges— the tatteredalbicelestewaving to no-one never left to rest in peace by the Patagonia winds—the next still has its eyes big beautiful and dead—the next— the next—every few yards the next—until the one that still struggles the one that could still be saved. But living is the only state never hang- ing here on display (and besides there’s no-one around for hundreds of miles). What were they thinking as they lost their last blood to the desert shrubs to the barbs that protect the absent owners’ land? There’s no-one around for hundreds of miles

    思妇 作者：袁婵 爸爸，你今天 又回来晚了 白色的狗吃掉了你 一半生活的清醒 你说你不想吵架 你关上门 沙发不在家，家里 没有妈妈 他多么像你 爸爸 冰箱贴着待办事件 电话无声，狗在呼吸 它看着我，我也看着我 你既在，又不在 爸爸——我们的餐桌 也是这样的灯吧 你曾在归还我的时间中 拥抱我，在永恒的白昼里 凝望我，他多么像你 爸爸，也会把云朵盛满饭碗 每道菜都是四月的杜鹃 而我在秋天 既想，又不想 爸爸，他像你 醉酒的人转过身 背上爬满火红的蚂蚁 如果十年前你没有 走进那条深深深深的隧道 我是不是不会在这里等他 爸爸

    2. 它不会降临 - 莹

    它不会降临 作者：李曼旎 它不会降临在夏日，绝望的 相同的死期。在见到你的 第一面，我所记得的所有 只剩下我的季节。那里有着 致死般炎毒的空气，流放 的鱼群散发出香味，回不来的人 反复叩着门，他们所说的神迹 其实和任何一块血糊糊的宝石 都没有区别，所有能被命运 取代的东西，都不再是我的结局。 三月适合埋葬，四月适合祈祷， 而困厄的五月适合什么？是注定的 死亡让我有希望，在破碎的 眼睑上，看见相似的蔷薇花盛开。

    2. it will not descend - 杰

    It Will Not Descend translated by PLS It will not descend on a summer’s day, hopeless same day of death. Upon our first encounter, all I could recall was my seasons. There the air incurably toxic, deported fish oozing a pleasant smell, those un-returnable knocking on the door over and over again, the miracle they mentioned was no different to any bloody diamond, those interchangeable with fate, are no longer my ending. March is good for burials, April for praying, and for what is the distressed May? It’s the predestined death that gives me hope, over broken eyelids, of seeing the blooming of indistinguishable roses.

    1. 思绪 - 灵

    思绪 翻译：诗验室 我们已迷失方向 急促走 向未来而不 考虑现在 过去 我们共同的辉煌。 知识可以治愈 但是无人愿意 承认 过去的债 人们 祖先 所有的 过来人。 我们除了索取索取索取 别无作为 根本没有考虑到给自己和身体 所造成的伤害。 我们的信仰 乱七八糟。 我们的生活面目全非树 被强行拔起连根带土然后我们 消失无踪一如困住的牛奶变酸 凝结蜕变又丑又黄 然后从此 一去不复返。

    1. Thoughts - Shirani Rajapakse

    Thoughts by Shirani Rajapakse We have lost our way hurrying towards the future with no consideration for the present the past the glories we shared. There is healing in knowledge but no one wants to acknowledge debts to the past the people the ancestorsall those who came before. We’ve done nothing but take take take without a thought to the damage to our selves, our bodies. Our beliefs turned upside down. Our lives torn out trees wrenched out roots and all and we perish like stale milk turning sour curdling changing ugly yellow then gone forever.
