【Night Observations】

Lan WA

       Who in deep night measures the area of darkness

       An angel? An Owl? A schizophrenic patient? 

         Surveyor? Insomniac? Poet? Departed sage

         Forest, high mountain, the abyss

         A goose rises skyward in sudden flight

         People get used to sleeping under storms

         Lightning over the torso of a plain

         Leaves scars, a river of darkness

         Your anchor? your security?

—— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • ——

【《夜间观察》】

瓦兰

            谁在深夜丈量黑暗

            的面积？天使？猫头鹰？精神病患者？

            土地测量员？失眠的诗人？失去的圣贤

            森林高山深渊

            鹅突然飞向天空

            人习惯了在暴雨下的睡眠

            闪电在平原的腹部

            留下伤疤，黑暗中的河流让你感到安全

【注】灵隐寺“灵魂隐居之寺”内供奉着世界上最大的释迦牟尼“所属皇室家族的圣贤”莲花坐像，于公元328年由印度僧人慧礼建造。
