彗星

宇宙飛彈大試射

警告地球

別偏離軌道

COMET

a cosmic exercise of missile firing

warning the earth

not to go astray 

緘 默

一旦詩般美麗的語言

被用來引爆

新仇舊恨的

炮彈

人類需要

另一種全新的

棄絕音節的

緘默

面對這荒謬絕倫的世界

他們其實也

無話可說

注：

在波士尼亞戰火裡生長的小孩，有不少因心靈受創而失去說話能力。

而一位引發戰火的塞爾維亞人領袖，據說還是位詩人呢。

SILENCE

when poetic language

is used to ignite

hatred

and bombs

it's time to abandon

words

syllables

and sounds

to this absurd world

they really have nothing

to say

Note: Many children born and raised in the warring Bosnia

were so traumatized that they lost the ability to speak.

Ironically, one of the Serbian leaders was said to be a poet.
