science of love
translated by PLS
one day, things will be blunt in the regression of languages
we will use an entire day to capture the kiss between butterfly and rose with panicking blu-ray lens?
ordering their reflections to kiss each other too. at dusk we build a three storey green house
stuff it with house, piano, tree fern, fountain pen and tropical fruit tree
“as poets will we still send each other poems?” you asked
sister, by then the lines will be as ancient as the tiles, if we wanted to talk
we need to wipe off the old stains around our mouths in struggle, yet we often fall into another sentence：
there needs to be light. this is the only sentence that travels through the glass wall
which instigates protests from different species: tiger, cicada, ghost, ape
and in the sound of flutes, reaches you in accuracy. when you start speaking to me
you use your first sentence to illustrate the necessity of translation:there needs to be love.
from that, after days of silence, it seems as if we return to tears, between the opening and closing of words
a bird asks the first question to its cohabitant:why?

10. Airy nails - 杰
airy nails
translated by PLS
the airy nails that hammer me
aren’t nailing me into the ground
on the smooth and shiny crust of the earth
the sun keeps a perpetual distance from me
and it reminds me with shadows:
there is always uncrushable shadow, shameless, resistant
you can only detest it, yet you can’t touch it
rusty nails, by contrast
are far more reliable
once in the flesh, they are unremovable
from time to time, at four in the morning
the glowing of bent nails can be seen
we are all weeping
for even moonlight is hurting us
