想念
想念比路長比雨季長比蛇的沈思貓的凝視長比垂榕的亂髮比修女的晚禱長
想念比銀河長比一萬六千行的荷馬史詩長比縈繞的蟬夢比寒武紀的空窗長
比枕間的吻比城市懺悔的燈影長那距離恰巧是櫻花從樹肩緩緩落地的距離
LONGING
Longing is longer than a road than the rainy season than a snake’s thought or
a cat’s gaze longer than the weeping figtree’s tangled hair than the nun’s vespers
Longer than the Milky Way than the sixteen-thousand-line Homeric Hymns
Longer than the lingering cicada’s dream and the blank Cambrian era
Longer than a kiss lives on a pillow than the remorseful shadows of the
streetlamps its measure the span of a cherry blossom’s immeasurable descent
