I Love you/ Recovering of a Flower/ Encounter

〈我愛你〉
English translation by Jeats


I Love You


The stumbled hurdle athlete on the track
Each time articulating *three character phrase
All blushed by himself on the cheeks 


* three character phrase: in Chinese, each character is also a word. “I love you” are combined of three characters. However, in Chinese “three character phrase” also mean foul language to scold others.

〈花的復原〉

English translation by Jeats

Recovering of a Flower

Upper lips of all Gods

Laid on the stairs 

Slightly mild purple

Dispirited with no inspiration 

Fire-reddened Divine Utility

With fevered Dusk

Diving into Water

Rumbling with sh-sh sound

Screws, gears, and levers

In the time-telling clock

Ejected from the Melody

In bright mining area

Coal stacks are boasted as a river

Doves fly far away

Crack among the wood is a secret space

Pools, full or deficient

Water turning into ice

Ice turning into water, also

No directions

No lyrics

Eternal pasture

Amusing inside the Kaleidoscope

Fragments scattered to all directions

Each one petal of flower shivering a bit

Such as the tiptoe of Cats

Swinging afar sluggishly

In the end, close to 

Chaste hands

Within little Black color

Recovering as a Flower

〈邂逅〉

English translation by Jeats

Encounter

At our first meet, we were floating and sinking and almost drown. But that was the only meet for us. After our brief hug, we were drawn and pulled to other directions. Then for our whole life, we saw each other mo more。

Inhabiting in two separate corners on this street where we were unable to see its ends, we had our different gardens, lattice windows, ornaments on the front doors, little night lamps…and tides, souls in and out.

We, you and I, were once two houses.
