无论我愿不愿意
梁晓明
无论我愿不愿意,天还是黑了下来,
它从门外黑进窗台,又从屋顶黑到了桌面,
它很快黑到了我的手指
我如果不开灯
我心里就会装满黑暗
我的心里已经黑暗,它挥着吞噬的小手
挤在眼睛边,它要走遍我的全身
它要在血液里扎根和发言
我要起身开灯,但我却丝纹不动
我看到黑暗降临大地
我不能幸免
遥远的星星自己发光
像一粒粒
自在的萤火虫
它越过时间,独自前行
直到与黑暗相敬如宾
Whether I Want it or Not
Liang Xiaoming
whether I want it or not, the sky will go dark,
darkening from the outside the door to the windowsill, and from the roof darkening to the tabletop,
until it blackens my fingers
if I don’t turn on a light
my heart will be full of the dark
my heart is already dark, waving the hands it has devoured
squeezing in by the eyes, it wants to walk my whole body
wants to put down roots in my blood and make a speech
I want to get to and turn the light on, but I don’t move a muscle
I watch darkness descend over the earth
and am not spared
far away the stars are shining
like so many
satisfied fireflies
surmounting time, progressing alone
so that they and darkness treat each other like guests

真理
梁晓明
我将全身的瓦片翻开,寻找一盏灯
谁在我的背后鲜花盛开?
谁将一碗水端在胸口
将天空的灵魂在山中深埋?
我曾经从树叶上屡次起飞
我将手深深插进泥土
这生命里最旺盛的一种泉水
是谁?在一小包火柴中将我等待
我燃烧,将时间里的琴弦
齐声拨响
在一把大火中,我的白马出走
家乡在马蹄下一片灰烬
现在我回家,灯光暗淡
是谁在飞檐上将风铃高挂
在眼中将瓦当重新安排
将逝去的呼吸细数珍藏,我高举起
一支箫
无人的旷野上我的箫声一片呜咽
Truth
Liang Xiaoming
I turn over the tile of my body, searching for a lamp
who is blooming flowers behind me?
who holds a bowl of water in front of their chest
and buries the sky’s soul deep in the mountains?
I used to fly off tree leaves again and again
I stuck my hand deep in the mud
life’s most vigorous wellspring
who is it? waiting for me in a small box of matches
I burn, I pluck the zither strings in time
in unison
in a grand fire, my white horse flees
my homeland ashes under its hooves
now I come home, the lights dim
who hung the wind chimes so high under the eaves
and rearranged the tiles in my eyes
counting each lost breath to store them like treasures I raise
my flute
in a peopleless wilderness the tune of my flute is one long sob
