Yi Sha
ON THE MOON
when you’re very low down
writing on the moon
is putting together beautiful words
or smart little phrases
a little less low
you think writing the moon
means romantic imagination
of a shallow disposition
when you start to go up
you realize the moon
the eternal waste land
ten thousand lonely generations
in your human heart
you step on the moon

最low的时候
以为写月亮
是整几个靓词儿
或小修辞
次low的时候
以为写月亮
是浪漫的想象力
是轻浮的小性情
开始走高的时候
懂得月亮
是亘古的荒凉
是万世的寂寞
是人心的登陆
