在生活區休息的一個小時 汪 峰
打著呵欠，在蘭花的根部坐了一個多小時
身體是一片葉也好，一叢葉也好，反正可以自由地綠或者自由地想些事
像一柄小花鋤靠在牆上可以毫無來由地長成蘭花。
當然，我也可以毫無來由地挨著坐一個多小時。閉上眼晴
聽陽光在身體裡洗掉多餘的山坡，一心一意地
比眼淚還要密集地落在彈奏裡：音樂比種子還要急迫地在泥土中
脹破衰朽了的根和莖，反正要像蘭花一樣
有自己舒爽和曠逸的身體

An Hour of Rest in the Leisure Area
by Wang Feng
Yawning, I sat by the roots of some orchids for an hour or more.
Their stalks, be it a leaf or an array of leaves, do nothing but look green and daydream.
Just as the small hoe against the wall may curiously grow into an orchid.
Naturally I can also sit here for an hour or longer. Eyes closed,
let the sun diffuse the excessive knolls inside of me, wholeheartedly.
The music’s tempo is too fast for our tears: there’s a sense of urgency in it, more than the seeds in the soil
to outgrow the rotting roots and stalks, without doubt to become an orchid,
poised and self-possessed.
