《贝塞根山脊徒步》

和平岛

加里东造山运动

在四亿年前就已经停止

当你攀爬贝塞根山脊

那是风与元古代结晶岩相遇的声音

你听不到辉长岩、斜长岩和花岗岩，她们的孩子

辉石，斜长石，石英结晶体，从元古代岩浆的母胎中诞生的声音

那是远古的天使，翅膀轻触星空的声音

风与山脊相遇

玉石工匠向第四纪冰川

借来冰凿与砂纸

把山脊打磨得更像山脊

剩下的边角料

抛掷到吉恩德湖和贝斯瓦特内湖

也就是一些碧绿的绿宝石, 祖母绿，绿松石

与深蓝色的陨星

绿色，蓝色

在美杜莎的墨镜里，交相辉映

红色

在血管里

止不住的石化

我终于听见

来自元古代的风——

三原色调配的冰酒，RGB，穿过肺叶——

那么静，那么静，连风都听不到

Hiking the Besseggen Ridge

By Peace Island (He Ping Dao)

The Caledonian Orogeny

Ceased four hundred million years ago.

As you scramble up the Besseggen Ridge,

You hear the wind meeting Proterozoic crystalline rocks.

You cannot hear the gabbro, anorthosite, and granite; nor their children—

Pyroxene, plagioclase, and quartz crystals—

The sound of their birth from the Proterozoic magma-womb.

It is the sound of ancient angelic wings, brushing against the stars.

Wind meets the ridge.

A jade craftsman, borrowing ice chisels and sandpaper

From the Quaternary glaciers,

Polishes the ridge to look more like a ridge.

The remaining offcuts

Were cast into Lake Gjende and Lake Bessvatnet:

Splinters of emerald, turquoise, and beryl,

Mingling with deep-blue fallen stars.

Green and blue

Interplay within the dark lenses of Medusa's sunglasses.

Red

Within the veins

Petrifies, unchecked.

At last, I hear

The wind from the Proterozoic Eon—

An ice wine mixed from three primary colors, RGB, piercing the lungs—

So quiet, so quiet, that even the wind cannot be heard.
