light-clear and far away

“Let there be light”
the chains of command bring order
down
to
the fingers that pull the triggers
the toy soldiers
start shooting madly calmly
into the lair of the faithful invisible
merrily we watch the sky painted
red lines of fire
across the distance
seemingly cold stars
millions of them
burn like carnival” some one said
just like the sun

Cold is the sun here in the desert
pale light from icy space
winter with no snow
just sands and wind
the sandstorm turns us into shapeless phantoms
fear push sweat out biting my uniforms
white salt formed on the collar and rifle butt
shine like diamonds

秋

火染禾黃
蟬吟露白
月明擾夢驚遊魂
鄉愁無路越關山

walls

the ancient Chinese built lots of great wall
they thought it could block the barbarians
strong is their faith
communist build a wall to keep their liberated citizens from escaping
the west such a corrupted hell
there are walls in the holy land
there are walls in the land of the free

angry teens see wall everywhere
wall that keep them in the hopeless slum
wall that keep them out of their Great expectation, so
they burn they hit they curse
they try to crash the invisible wall
electric signals communicate people in seconds
we build wall around us
making us isolated islands
we are walls

乾季

乾涸水庫
重現古老殘破的石版屋
窗 以漆黑眼神 向
沉默的枯樹吞吐
遙遠記憶

母親與孩子互相撫慰淤血傷痕
沉睡的父親擁抱著空乾酒瓶
集中營群眾緩步走向
噴出黑煙的無水浴室
穿著筆挺軍服的武士
冷靜的注視杯中搖蕩的寶石紅
高喊真主至上的戰士
在飛揚風沙中揮舞槍托
試圖解放不再乾渴的枯骸

城市

張開兩片閃爍雙翼
在引力與星空吸引中保持平衡
它準時劃過冰冷天際軌道
快速開閤的單眼 注視 記錄
沾粘在綠色島嶼上的崎嶇水泥塊
烈日溫柔蒸騰
飄浮的巨廈 顫動
如水中的幻象

滾動的水柱從柔軟瀝青破洞 放肆噴射
緊閉車窗中 封鎖詛咒 伴隨
鏽蝕的排氣管 各自吐出黑 白 煙霧
彩繪塗鴉的河堤外
乾涸龜裂的水岸
散佈著黑色泥潭
幾尾殘存的魚擁擠翻滾
吞吐著白沫互相撫慰

銀幕中銷售著真愛密碼
宣教士分送神愛世人的訊息
赤裸上身的遊民靜臥在公園草坪
外傭女孩對著手機向故鄉傳情
手輕搖茫然捲曲在輪椅上的老人
麻雀輕巧跳動啄食四散的垃圾
空蕩蕩的音樂台陰影下
兩個男孩擁抱在閃亮汗水中

幾輛靈車花枝招展在車陣中緩慢流動
盛裝女郎高聲向星空歌唱 關於
今宵與明日的期盼
