FOR THE THINGS YOU DO, DON’T DO
I get up
I get down
Toss my feet in two green slippers
She looks at me while my brain is not fully awake
Then it is too late
She hugs me and leaves
I know what’s happening quite well
I write about that now
I wonder the things I do and don’t do
Take a shower
Feels like I’m awake again
You’re an artist, she told me once
You have to pay bills
Now she’s coming back
Giving me a sensuous kiss
Thank you, she said.
For what?
For the things you do
And don’t do.
CONVERSATION IN SILENCE
I’d never known a woman as she
Who in silence could speak a thousand words
Emotions evoked in feminine complicity
Her silence, better than standing over a blank canvas
I wish I could spend days, spend nights with her
And let unspoken words in beauty speak.
記得
我迷失了自我
這是事實
告訴你
這有多甜美
就像第一道曙光
看見你可愛的臉龐
你的雙眼就像晨露般閃耀
無論我到哪去旅行
越過平原
山巒
和雲朵
我的心永遠會記得
REMEMBER
I lose myself
that is truth
and tell you
how sweet it is
at first daylight
to see your lovely face
your eyes sparkling
as morning dew.
And wherever I travel
beyond the plains
mountains
and clouds
my heart will always
remember.
