口弦的自白

我是口弦
永远挂在他的胸前
从美妙的少女时光
到寂寞的老年
我是口弦
命运让我
睡在我心房的旁边
她通过我
把忧伤和欢乐
倾诉给黑暗
我是口弦
要是她真的
溘然离开这个人世
我也要陪伴着她
最终把自己的一切
拌合在冰冷的泥土里面
但是――兄弟啊――在漆黑的夜半
如果你感受到了
这块土地的悲哀
那就是我还在思念

The Mouthstring’s Vindication

I, a mouthstring
Hang ever at her breast
From splendid girlhood
To lonely ago
I, a mouthstring
Am fated
To sleep by the atrium of her heart
Through me she pours out
Sorrow and joy
To the darkness
I, a mouthsrting
Will accompany her
If she does indeed
Go suddenly from this world
And mingle my all at last
In ice-cold mud
But (brother!) if in the pitch midnight
You perceive
This land’s tragedy
It will be me still thinking
