A Key
By Cheng Lie
It was cast a spell
even changed into a dream with an impossible knack.
Stretching its head to lock core, it was eager to be blessed
to unlock the prophet's garden.
Which the archaic game lifted, is the last lock ring
that accompanied it for a lifetime. But
the time made a plot
neither a beginning nor an ending.

钥匙
程烈
那物被授以魔法
甚至用不可能的窍门，变形为梦
它把头倾向锁芯，渴望眷顾
打开先知的花园。
古老游戏开启的，是它一生中
最后的锁环。然而
时间设下圈套
既无起始，更无终点。
