石头

气喘吁吁一路把影子拖上山顶

它便与石头融为一体

作为最大的一颗

太阳照着自己的形象

具象出石头的外形

稍具灵性的实体，可称之为玉

唯得大川灵秀者

天地交媾，水月润泽

才有可能化作猴子

蝴蝶

人

影子

却卡在半山腰

兴许是与石头交融得过于彻底

兴许还没完全摆脱石头的胎形

兴许只是返祖

我注定每天都要拖着你

这颗小太阳

击壤而歌

Stone

Panting, dragging my shadow all the way to the peak,

It merges, finally, into one with the stone.

As the greatest of them all,

The sun shines upon its own image,

Giving concrete form to the stone’s exterior.

A substance with a touch of divinity—may be called jade.

Only those endowed with the soul of great rivers,

Through the copulation of Heaven and Earth, nourished by water and moon,

Might transform into a monkey,

A butterfly,

Or a man.

The shadow,

However, is stuck halfway up the mountain.

Perhaps it fused too thoroughly with the rock,

Perhaps it hasn't fully shed its lithic womb,

Or perhaps, it is merely atavism.

I am destined to drag you every day,

This little sun of mine,

Singing as I beat the earth.
