▍海岸

我想那时我找到了答案

当乌鸦聚集成群，

盘旋于空，快速地升向高处，

继而转弯，于是整个布阵

光影交错。有时十只

或者二十只，飞离鸦群，好像复调，随后

又与之会合，没入

同一种律动。成百的翱翔的生命

心却融在一处，嬉戏

于夕阳之下，将夜晚

引向我们，以粉红，以湛蓝：

如此喜悦，黑暗可忽略不计。

Coast

I thought I found the answer when

the blackbirds formed a swarm,

hovered, lofted off at high speed,

veered, became a composition

of light-dark motion. Sometimes ten

or twenty flew apart, a counterpoint, then

re-collided with the main-flock, merged

into one impulse. One mind among

a hundred soaring bodies, played

in twilight, brought night down

onto us, out of pink and blue:

so elated, darkness hardly mattered.
